Lyrics The Delgados

The Delgados

Falling and Landing

Where you fall is where you land

A picture of our fallen stands

Shining lights and darken skies

To shining lights in weaker eyes

All your lives and inventory

Nothing is explanatory

How you wanted her to shout

It's how you fall not land that always counts

Wash the spit from off your clothes

And wash the memory of those

Who put their juice upon your spine

Forget i can, my life is fine

Shaking colder in the stake

Interaction with the ache

Magazines of lovely girls

Living life for paper thrills

A part of you is ill

Some bits you can fill

It's part of a change you won't see

I don't know how to breathe

I've started so i'll freeze

Time is all made up of lines

Some lines that way above you climbs

Others you can twist and bend

But who wants twisted lines for friends

Ones that grasp are never taught

Influence is less ??

Higher lines are have not free

It's how you fall not land that counts with me

A part of you is ill

Some bits you can fill

It's part of a change you won't see

I don't know how to breathe

I've started so i'll freeze

Are you brave enough to see?
