lyrics

Verse 1
Our wind’s been stolen,
We’re sitting ducks for bitterness to fill the boredom
Well we’ve been indoors too long, and we just don’t have anything new to say

Oh its easy,
So simple to always blame each other for
Monotonous days, monotonous nights, monotonous afternoons

But I’d be down
For spending a long old life together,
Now i’ve seen your worst and you’ve seen mine
And I didn’t mind

Chorus
Tell me am I wrong?
Tell me am I wrong?
Tell me am I wrong?

Verse 2
Ooh, but across the ocean,
You have to lead your life so far away
And I lead mine right here

And now and then
We get a week to cherish every hour
In each other’s arms

And then, back home,
We fly across the world to sleep alone
And speak on the phone
But I would do it over and over again

Chorus
Tell me am I wrong

I’ve been thinking lately there is really no-one I would rather
Wake up in the morning to and spend my idle days beside, despite
All the times we drive each other crazy over this and thats, they don’t mean a thing
When its you I get to be beside

I’ve been thinking lately there is really no-one I would rather
Wake up in the morning to and spend my idle days beside, despite
All the times we drive each other crazy over this and thats, they don’t mean a thing
When its you I get to be beside

I’ve been thinking lately there is really no-one I would rather
Wake up in the morning to and spend my idle days beside, despite
All the times we drive each other crazy over this and thats, they don’t mean a thing
When its you I get to be beside

about

The Morning Shift London, UK

The Morning Shift are a SE London based indie-something seven-piece, who blend their influences of Belle and Sebastian, Nick Cave and The Beatles into a circus of sound that mixes the jangly guitars of late 90s indie music with the deep, warm soundscapes of Bad Seed-esque art rock. The band’s lyrics discuss life, love and loss, reveling in the melancholy and the everyday beauty of the mundane. ... more
