Guillemots São Paulo
Sit down my love of open spaces
And greet my love that's all be spent
I'm going to tell you both the story
About some memories that I dreamt
See I've lost love in many places
Not least the streets of São Paulo
And friends especially, I didn't make them
The tenth floor window to her home
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
But I don't
So hush the shadows in the oak tree
Be still the curlew on the moor
My heart has fallen by the wayside
I cannot claim her anymore
So don your duffle coats quite slowly
And this drop jury shall adjourn
While on the streets of old São Paulo
I watch my baby being burned
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
But I don't
Sometimes I could cry nine times
Drop my bags and run for miles
Sometimes I could live nine lives
But I won't, but I won't
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Till there's no skin left on your bones
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Like a stone
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Like a stone
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Like a stone
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Like a stone
Get me a doctor
Get me a doctor
Who will get rid of my bones
Get me a lover
Get me a lover
Who will leave my head alone
Get me a soldier
Get me a soldier
Who will fight me pointless war
Get me an exit
I need an exit
I need a window or a door
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Like a stone
Get me a lawyer
Get me a lawyer
Who will sue the world for me
Get me a person
Get me a person
Get me a person
Who isn't me
Because I'm getting tired
I'm getting tired
Of my stupid little face
I don't belong here
Don't belong here
Don't belong in this horse-race
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Like a stone
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Thrown across water
Like a stone
