Lyrics:
There’s no point in stupid dreaming
There’s no meaning in a diamond ring
I know what I know
And I won’t be told further
Truth is in a biro pen
Truth is in a violin
Your big in small letters
Your mind is a weight
a bird into feathers
from violet to grey
Must be stuck and hit the thousandth wall
I’m north enough and fading
As grubby as the kitchen floor
I’ll build a box then break it.
If you see stairs then don’t ascend them
Its a building with no upper floor
I think what I thought and I won’t be told further
Blueprint in a styrene bin
Architect or mannequin?
Just walls built on pavement
A frame not a door
A concrete persuasion
It stands then it falls.
Must be stuck and hit the thousandth wall
I’m north enough and fading out
As grubby as the kitchen floor
I’ll build a box then break it.
Must be stuck and hit the thousandth wall
I’m north enough and fading out
As futile as the kitchen floor
I’ll build a box then break it.
I’ll build a box then break it.
I’ll build a box then break it.
I’ll build a box then break it.
I’ll build a box then break it.
