09 Watch Song

uglifruit

Standing, waiting, shivering, waiting, hoping, waiting, crying - all the while being cruelly mocked by the passage of time, and my analogue watch. It was not a very nice night.

Peter Fedofsky plays the piano on this song.

If you could talk to me what would you say?
Could you explain to me the Oxford rain that’s drowning me again

Standing in the shadows staring at my watch
Waiting for the hands to wave goodbye
Knowing nothing but this face upon a clock
Winks and says it’s time

A poisoned kiss you served upon a plate
Fortune favours the brave
And fate forgives mistakes

Slipping into shadows Staring at the dial
Waiting for the hands to shake hello
Knowing nothing but this face upon a clock
Winks and say he knows

Are you winding me up
Are you winding me down
Are you winding me up
Or winding me down

Sulking in the shadows staring at my watch
Waiting for the hands to meet and pray
Knowing nothing but hoping it’ll stop
