Marble Arch Songtext
I remember staring at your hands and your silver rings
Those precious moments, I wish I noticed things
Shouted here last spring when fear was nibbling
So I held my next of kin
It's cold in the city's light
I miss the cold of the city's light
And it's been three months since we last spoke
Because you never pick up the phone
I scream at the deadness of the dialling tone
Those precious moments, I wish I noticed things
Shouted here last spring when fear was nibbling
So I held my next of kin
It's cold in the city's light
I miss the cold of the city's light
And it's been three months since we last spoke
Because you never pick up the phone
I scream at the deadness of the dialling tone
And I cry and I decided that it's best if I leave you alone
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
And my head is on the ground now
But my feet they dont know what to do
Ah, ah, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
Da-da-da-da, ah, da-da-da
But I missed you when you went away
You got eaten up by the city and the dust and the smoke and the rain
And I know that you're trying to stay afloat in the little boat that you made
Don't feel ashamed, I do the same, don't push me away
And it's been three months since we last spoke Because you never pick up the phone
I scream at the deadness of the dialling tone
And I cry and I decided that it's best if I leave you alone
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
And my head is on the ground now
But my feet they dont know what to do
Ah, ah, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
Da-da-da-da, ah, da-da-da
But I remember lying in
When your flooring groaned by the open door
You were kind and I was small
To me, you stood so tall
Now you're passing me a smoke and as I look into your eyes
I think about how brave you are and strange you are
You're making your way in the big city
You're reading a lot and you're trying to save humanity
And there are people who will treat you shitty
But we'll never stop spinning, with you I know I'd never be alone
Da-da-da-da-da-da, ah-ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, da-da-da-da, ah, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
And my head is on the ground now
But my feet they dont know what to do
Ah, ah, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
Da-da-da-da, ah, da-da-da
But I missed you when you went away
You got eaten up by the city and the dust and the smoke and the rain
And I know that you're trying to stay afloat in the little boat that you made
Don't feel ashamed, I do the same, don't push me away
And it's been three months since we last spoke Because you never pick up the phone
I scream at the deadness of the dialling tone
And I cry and I decided that it's best if I leave you alone
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, ah
And my head is on the ground now
But my feet they dont know what to do

Ah, ah, ah
Will your mother wash your mouth out
With the soap that she made for you?
Ah, ah, da-da-da-da, ah, da-da-da, da-da-da
