Dove From Above

from Any Questions by Laurie Shaw

/

lyrics

Somebody thinks I’m good
Somebody’s mistaken
Somebody thinks I’m good
Somebody’s mistaken

She had dead dark hair and a Dry Cleaning T
The words came out her mouth and shattered over me
Shattered over me
Coming down, falling like flakes
Fake snow flakes
Flake snow flaking all around me
Down to the ground
Down to the ground, ground, dark ground
Oh get me out of here, get me out of here
(I’m not a celebrity, but get me out of here)

Nothing to do, nothing to don’t
Are you going to woo me?
Promise me you won’t
We’re all in the same boat
We’re not in the same boat
We’re not in the same boat
We used to be but we’re not in the same boat
Nothing to do with you, not trying to be nasty
But we’re just not in the same boat

Looking for C_____ , she’s a good friend of mine
I need her to be helpful now
Trying to summon the good times
Like a dove from above
Don’t want the things I really love to get tainted by the misery
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
Keep it clean
It’s not collatoral
Save The Last Crusade, save Classic Corrie
She says the words
She says the words
They come out of her mouth and then they shower over me
She has nice words to say, O.K.
Her name begins with L
Hey, that’s the same as me!
Hey that’s the same, hey that’s the same
Hey that’s the same as me
Some nice words? Keep them at bay
They’ll only upset me
Dead kind words
Come over me
That’s dead nice of you to say
Thought about thought about thought about thought about Thought about thought about thought about thought about
Thought about it more than I should have
Thought about it so much that it’s almost like a past love
Past love that comes into your mind when you’re just doing nowt
Thinking about making a record and then - - -
THEY’RE IN YOUR MIND THEY’RE MIND IN YOUR MIND

And embarassing situations and sections of time
That you regret how you acted and you think “I’m such a twat”
And sometimes when you think of things,
Think of times - - - think think think - - - think of times
Then you think of her and you just can’t bear it
I just can’t bear it, I just can’t help it
Save XFM!
Save Classic Corrie!
Save Last Crusade!
Save Grease Lightning!

Trying to summon it up like a dove from above
Trying to make sure that the stuff that I love
Doesn’t get tainted by the misery
I just can’t bear it, I just can’t bear it
Get that hair out your eyes
Get your hair out your eyes

Kind words, flooding over me
Makes me feel sorry to be here
Sorry that I tried to ignore you again
I’m just like that sometimes
Sometimes, aye aye
Popeye Popeye Popeye
Popeye Popeye Popeye
Popeye Popeye Popeye
Spinach in a can
Popeye Popeye Popeye
Popeye Popeye Popeye
Popeye Popeye Popeye
Spinach in a can
