High Class Music

Roddy Frame

[Verse 1]
The guy in the tie
Could bust his jaw with careless laughter
His world weary sigh
Suggests belief in the ever after
His till takes its toll to his relief
He checks his watch 'cause time's a thief

[Pre-Chorus]
Tick and years fly past
Trailing half-remembered hymns
He nailed his colours to the mast
Now the ship is steering him

[Chorus]
He hears jewelled fingers drumming
German engines humming
A fanfare of stares
Orchestrated sneers
High class music

[Verse 2]
Beware of the line
Says your burden will be surrendered
Share it with mine
Let your words be true and tender
Stretch out your body and be free
Not on some shaded sand but here with me

[Pre-Chorus]
Has your soul lost shape?
Is it too torn to heal?
Well, let my whole world be draped
Over its foreignness of feeling

[Chorus]
Love me do
I'm a-gonna love you too
No high class music
Just me and you

[Verse 3]
Love, like a light
Let me see my secret places
Shine hard and bright
Set me free from heirs and graces
Snuff out the dark and let me see
The part of you that's part of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Flash and fears take flight
Guide me surely to her kiss
Dashing my maybes and my mights
Against the certainty of this

[Chorus]
Here comes the night
Made over by MirĂ³
Tracks twist through darkness
Stars gasp in oceans
Birds burst from trees
No high class music
Just you and me
