Our Most Brilliant Friends - Slow Club
Sun is coming up slowly
I didn't read it in your star-sign or mine
God knows we're not holy
In decisions we make
And how we spend our time
But I got faster and faster
And you got harder to please
And you got harder to find
And our prayers were answered
When we wrote these songs
And we lost our minds
And all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves
And we're scared about the world
The atmosphere our bodies and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We won't need help
Something's making me nervous
Running through my body
Can't remember why
We thought we had all the answers
We got the stomach to learn
But haven't got the time
Your body looks good tonight
I wonder if you'd care
If I was still in your shirt
The way we were when we first met
Before your mind filled with air and mine with dirt
And all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves
And we're scared about the world
The atmosphere our bodies and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We won't need help
Hey hey look at him go
Hey hey look at him go
Hey hey look at him go
Hey hey look at him go
You know that it's gonna take time don't you
You know that you never were right
But the fact is you're good
Yeah we know that you're nice
But we don't get a world and we don't get a life
Where all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves
And we're scared about the world
The atmosphere our bodies and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We won't need help
Hey hey look at him go
Hey hey look at him go
Hey hey look at him go
Hey hey look at him go
If dreams come true then you and I would make a two
And if I had one more I'd dream that I stayed on your floor
And while my parents were alive
They'd say Rebecca knows the time to play the next card to your chest
You thought about me and you said go
I thought about that and I said no
You couldn't understand why a girl like me thinks the way I do
But I can't stand a boy who thinks things through like you
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights I've been regretting
Now with you I always thought we lived behind a front door
Right now you don't think that you can live any more
And I'll call and call and call and call and call and call and call
Anyone on the phone so tonight I'm not alone
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
And you say baby a lot in your song
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I met a boy who grew up in the mountains
He really loved garden got me thinking about things
Like appreciating everyone that I can call a friend
Seeing life as a group of tests to see through to the end
But I'm a quitter I don't think he knew
That I'm still thinking about you
I'm a quitter and I'm ashamed
He said he'd come back for my brain
And you say baby a lot in your songs
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I just wanted to see that new Tim Burton movie
Or hang around with Laura Jane and Suzy
And I definitely want to be a rapper
But I'm just a northern girl from where nothing really happens
And the bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
It's from all the crunking I've been doing
