lyrics

MOTORWAY SOUNDS

CLOUDS PASS IN SLOWLY OVER THE HEAVENLY SUN
AND IT DRIFTS BY SO EASY WHEN YOU CARE FOR NO-ONE
UNTIL YOU FIND YOURSELF HOLDING SOMETHING YOU LOVE
NOT KNOWING WHERE IT CAME FROM

I HEAR VOICES CALLING BEHIND AND AHEAD
AND IT’S WHICH WAY TO FOLLOW WHEN NO PATHS HAVE BEEN LEFT
ARE THE NIGHTMARES OVER OR IS IT ALL IN MY HEAD
AM I READY TO START AGAIN

CIVILISED STORIES OF THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
AND THE EARTH BENEATH THESE FLOORS IT WOULD SCREAM IN THE NIGHT
SELLING POSTCARDS OF THESE MEMORIES THAT ARE LONG OUT OF SIGHT
BUT BACK THEN IT WAS SUCH A HARD TIME

MANY MORE LIVES LATER I’VE BEEN SETTLING DOWN
THE BABIES ARE ALL DROWNING OUT THOSE TERRIBLE SOUNDS
WHEN I WAS JUST SEVENTEEN I WAS DRY AT THE MOUTH
I WAS UNABLE TO TALK

EMBLEMS WILL SHATTER YOUR MARMALADE GAZE
AND THERE’S NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU
AT LEAST THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CRAVE
ONLY MILES FROM THE CENTRE BUT THIS PASSION IT FADES
HAS THE LAST BATTLE BEEN LOST

NEVER SUFFERED A DAY THEN THE PAIN STRUCK YOU DOWN
IT’S THESE LITTLE WHITE PILLS THAT WILL BRING ME AROUND
FOR TONIGHT I WILL SLEEP ON THESE MOTORWAY SOUNDS
FOR TONIGHT I WILL SLEEP ALONE
