Elbow - Switching Off lyrics

rate me

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil

And a final scene unfolds inside

Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow

Is a part replayed from a perfect day

Teaching her how to whistle like a boy

Love's first blush

Chorus

Is this making sense?

What am I trying to say?

Early evening June

This room and a radio play

This I need to save

I choose my final thoughts today

Switching off with you

All the clocks give in

And the traffic fades

And the insects like a neon choir

The instant fizz

Connection made

And the curtains sigh

In time

With you

Chorus 2

You, the only sense the world has ever made

Early evening June

This room and radio play

This I need to save

I choose my final scene today

Switching off

Ran to ground for a while there

But I came off pretty well

Chorus 3

You, the only sense the world has ever made

This I need to save

A simple trinket locked away

I choose my final scene today

Switching off with you
