lyrics

little mountain of steel and pipe-dreams
the creatures don’t run from your bright-beams
a hammer’s got things to say here
and the people are dressed in their days, my dear

the road keeps on getting wider
Till the city just takes you inside her
Little boys and their thieving ways
It’s only what they steal that’ll change

a giant’s hand from a pop-up city
I will go willingly
and I will take this trip down future lane
I will leave my given name with you….

but I have been such a bloody fool
I was just your garden tool
I thought that I’d end up with memories
but I just lost my car keys somewhere new….
