Oh This Place's So Quiet (Parts I & II)

from Call An Ambulance by Big City

about

To IA & PE

lyrics

When she leaves
she’ll take your linen
when she goes
what will be left
to cover up your mittens’ holes

Still you do keep
carrying sheets
each time you go
each time you go see her
at her thousand homes

...

to get her take you to
down to the beach
both drowsily dangling
in a pale frail breeze,

to get her hurt you when
she cures you,
fumbling to tell her
“wish I wanted you”

expecting gentle tears,
soda waterfalls,
but she don’t give a fuck

outthere you
won’t read the signs
but oh this place’s so quiet
and to a peaceful riot
her scarf paves your ground
ground
ground

outthere trees bow down
down to the lane
whereas here she pours the sea
from your window frame

outthere crumbs won’t
let you sleep, woollen unselfishness
takes your hand

government keeps on lying
but oh this place’s so quiet
and to a peaceful riot
bitten nails and wavelengths beckon you
