lyrics

I think it's time we went and left.
I've been inside too long and need rest from screens, guitars and articles in magazines.
The days are short, the nights are long.
You know it honey
you have sat through both with matchsticks on your eyelids for good luck.

Pull up a search for somewhere in the sun.
What else is there to spend my savings on?

Where would you rather be?
Where would you rather be?
Anywhere but here.
Anywhere but here.

The other day we went and walked
amongst the foxes and the trees
and we looked down upon the Thames that flows away,
It seemed so very easy...

To carve out from the mud and from the stone,
a path to the place that it was wanting to go.

Where would you rather be?
Where would you rather be?

We're sick and we're tired, of the coldness outside, and inside us.
The bags under our eyes and the frowns that we hold onto

Pull up a search for somewhere in the sun.
What else is there to spend my savings on?
Pull up a search for somewhere in the sun.
What else is there to spend my savings on?

The band’s lyrics discuss life, love and loss, reveling in the melancholy and the everyday beauty of the mundane. ... more
