Lyrics:

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush

Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you

All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like, like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you

You're the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off

Ran to ground, ran to ground
But I came off, came off pretty well
I came off pretty well
Ran to ground, ran to ground for a while there
But I came off pretty well
But I came off pretty well
Oh-oh
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow, oh-oh

You're the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you

Reminds me very much of a series of Robert Wyatt solo albums that he made back in the '70s and '80s. Quite nice....
Could this guy have listened to Peter Gabriel now and then? Ya think?
Wow, I went to write this comment about how interminable this is and discovered I had already lodged the sentiment - quite recently in fact. A testament to the fact that I slept through it last time because I have only a vague recollection of writing it! I gladly sucko-barfoed this tune :D
please end soon!
Beavis, this song sucks above all else that sucks.....
Yuck! My rating for this song: 1.0 Paws out of 10 This review has been brought to you as a courtesy of CrumbCat . © Copyright 2003 by CrumbCat, all rights reserved.
It's still playing
Get the album Asleep In The Back by Elbow. It is one of the most íngenious albums from the UK I know of. In the same category as Radiohead\'s OK Computer.
Should be followed by the Kings\' \"Switchin\' to Glide.\"
I usually refrain from commenting on the songs that I don't enjoy but this thing is just too painful. :(
Is this ever going to stop??
Just how long does this go on for?
