Church - Volumes lyrics

rate me

Borrowed grapes from stores of gold<br />

Put plastic back where metal's sold<br />

Men in quarries connect their bomb<br />

One two three a new Saigon<br />

Check the bottle is it full?<br />

Have you found which pin to pull?<br />

Boys in shirts get dirty hands<br />

Smoke kills seagulls on the sands<br />

They have pages, they take ages<br />

To read and to learn they're heavy to carry<br />

And easy to burn<br />

Volumes have secrets, take them on holiday<br />

Book them a room, save them a moment<br />

Swallow their swoon<br />

Pretty things all in a row<br />

Flowers who can't seem to grow<br />

Finding the pearls then finding the blood<br />

Then finding the water is wood<br />

The something I wanted has just flown by<br />

It looked at me sideways and told me to try<br />

I hope it's a message from someone obscure<br />

I hope it's the man next door
