lyrics

September

Crack the sunset safety glass September
Blossom fire in the market square
I could never trouble you to care
So let it go tell it to all of your friends
Summer’s gone all games have an end

It’s all a-glow fast burning star
The spring’s unloved kin
Supernova you are shining bright
Destruction’s coming set the stage alight
You cause trouble wherever you go
Bring your own style just to steal the show

Crack the sunset safety glass September
Feel my head got trapped in tanglewire
Best before date simply long expired
In my darkest hour I feel your hand
You hold me tight when my world’s at an end

Now let it go tell it to all of your friends
Summer’s gone all games have an end

Have you heard the songs and stories
About that punk queen in her leather shirt

Souvenirs lost in time with a bitter enzyme
Infantile like a nursery rhyme

Have you seen her walking gently
In the shine of the city lights
And how her kisses make the boys go wild
In the shine of the city lights
She’s got a voice just like a fairy
Have you heard the songs and storys

Souvenirs lost in time with a bitter enzyme
Infantile like a nursery rhyme

I know her well and I know she’s living rough
In the shine of the city lights
How her glances cause the heart to bleed
On the dark side of the street
In her veins wild horses running
And a wolfhound at her feet


Crack the sunset safety glass September
I’m wide awake I guess I’m breaking through
Remembrance day feels like a sneak preview
Of a summer where all games had an end
In light and darkness about to transcend
