INTRO
Main Riff



VERSE 1
I forgot to tell you, I have smart new shoes on

Bought with the money they gave me after the London bombs

And I forgot to tell you, I've pulled myself together

Gave next door the TV, stopped trying to belong



BRIDGE 1
And i forgot to tell you,

I have your thick woolen socks on,

So it feels like my feet are still touching your feet

Though you're gone, though you're gone



VERSE 2
I forgot to tell you, a girl at the office lost her husband

You met him at the barbecue, I've chipped in for flowers

And the waiting, the waiting really hurt her

They put it on the news, but didn't phone her for eleven hours



BRIDGE 2
And i realised she was looking to me

For some king of solidarity

I could read her thoughts, a widow and a widower

But i have nothing, I have nothing to offer



CHORUS 1
Today, today we stop standing around

Today we're not standing our ground

find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives

Today, today we start running away

And we'll always be running away

Or the box might aswell be a grave



VERSE 3
I forgot to tell you, the whole estate is talking

The police came down last night and took some boys away

Nobody rushed to judgement in the face of their machine guns

We know our history is better than the liars on TV

But we don't know what to say



BRIDGE 3
We just hold on to our anger

We won't let it evaporate

Hold on, we won't let our anger fade



CHORUS 2
Today, today we stop standing around

Today we're not standing our ground

find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives

Today, today we start running away

And we'll always be running away

Or the box might aswell be a grave


Enjoy
