You go climbing on rooftops,
all over town.
You say the streets are so pretty
when you’re not on the ground.
And every once in a while, we
have to talk you back down.
CHORUS
And you – you don’t want love, you want emotion.
Yeah you – you like boats, but not the ocean.
You see a river of strangers
coming off every train,
and it freaks you that no-one
knows another by name,
and no two of those stories
are ever the same.
CHORUS
On Sunday mornings, the silence is scary.
You call me to make sure
you’re there (somewhere),
not thin air.
You stand in front of a mirror
in your mother’s old things -
the performance you were born for,
but you wait in the wings.
And you want us all to join in
when the Fat Lady sings.
A gifted writer, player and producer, Matt's 'Lessons of War' is a fascinating collection of collaborations - but he has a great back catalogue, too - and new songs due soon... Anthony Toner
