New Brighton Lyrics & Tabs by Said the Whale
New Brighton
guitar chords lyrics
It's where we swam to, when I was younger
I remember how, you held me under
I was brand new, being underwater
But I'm stronger now, that I am a father
All the work is now, weight on my shoulders
'Bout the future, and how we're getting older
And it's funny now, seeing you around
Wearing that silly frown, it doesn't suit you
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
How I wanna lead it
I've been kinda thinking about the real world
You welcome me to it
I... I - I - I
It was a bad idea, bringing them here
Because they have shifty eyes
I... I - I - I
It was a bad idea, bringing them here
Because they have shifty eyes
All they see is paradise
But I've got a home here, what I've worked for
And it's over there that I get an answer that I want to hear
Not facts and figures about the atmosphere, how I could affect it
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
How I wanna lead it
I've been kinda thinking about the real world
You welcome me to it
I... I - I - I
With battle we fought up pavilion
Caused us to retreat three hundred miles to the safety of our New Brighton
Where we treat a hundred-twenty
And with the front lines crossed, we slowly reveal no secrets at all
We're just lonely boys with our submarine toys
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
How I wanna lead it
And I've been kinda thinking about the real world
You welcome me to it
I... I - I - I
