lyrics

All the great last lines
I think I heard them all the night you told me why the movies get it wrong
If there was a chance that you had lied
I checked each book believe me
Starting with the dreams
That end the cheapest scenes

All the great last lines characters so rich and full
They don't inspire the love like a story of the fall
Time to tell you why I hate this sunny day
I'll never love you more central casting’s had its way oh...

All the flyest crimes could not enhance the view
that suns a little dimmer in a world now without you
all the great last lines, I think I heard them all
the night you told me why, the movies get it wrong
if there was a chance that you had lied
I checked each book believe me
starting with the time that you left me at Port Said.

All the great last lines, codas so rich and full
They're standing starts in drag, to evening dress or tender wool
Can't we be that good? Wound like a rope is strong
But rescued at the end as they play the final song
Happy ever after and "damn you're beautiful!"
Poetic ways to finish, compelling so its true
But when we both walk out, blinking into the blue
will we be silent stars or whisper vows anew?

And when we write the last scene, will we be lonely, (only)
You and me started off sweet at the start of the story so hold me...

about

Alexander's Festival Hall London, UK

Alexander's Festival Hall is a sort of English pop confection, a mix of regretful ballads and occasional pop rainbows. New album 'Not From Above!' is both music and book of stories. Twelve lush romantic songs and a collection of darkly comic thought experiments.
