The Phoenix Foundation - All In An Afternoon lyrics

rate me

He was not the boy you thought him<br />

Now you are dying of boredom<br />

All in an afternoon I throw<br />

My temper around the room<br />

<br />

She was not the girl I thought her<br />

She could drive a man to murder<br />

All in an afternoon I throw<br />

My temper 'round the room<br />

My temper 'round the room<br />

My temper 'round the room<br />

<br />

Now I can't see the sky at all<br />

I'm lying here I should be standing tall<br />

But oh you look straight through and through 'til I<br />

I don't know what to do<br />

<br />

And the way you're keeping silent<br />

Makes me think that I should be more quiet<br />

All in an afternoon I throw my<br />

My temper 'round the room<br />

My temper 'round the room<br />

My temper 'round the room<br />

<br />

But as the evening falls and you find a moment's pause<br />

What a silly boy you have been<br />

As if she could care<br />

She was never even here<br />

She just wanted you to disappear<br />

And you threw your temper 'round the room<br />

<br />

(Threw my) temper 'round the room<br />

(Threw my) temper 'round the room<br />

(Threw my) my temper around the room<br />

<br />

She was not the girl I thought her<br />

And she could drive this man to murder<br />

All in an afternoon I throw my<br />

Temper 'round the room<br />

My temper around the room<br />

My temper around the room<br />

All in an afternoon
