Swinging at Shadows

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When whispers tempted me in Spent the afternoon pinned On the far side of the playing field Then shall we skip to the part Where I'm hung from the bars, or not? And then behind the grandstand Where we made all our plans The moment came and left without me On the last bus back I'm gonna think about that, only [Chorus] And they'll never let us in We'll be outsiders once again If we were ever anything else, I don't know But that just brings us closer Yeah they'll never let us in We'll be outsiders once again If we were ever anything else, I don't know No [Verse 2] We blew the hours we got From dandelion clocks And as they drift off they weigh hard on me 'Cos as we draw near the end It's just if not now then when? Again And though we felt we were free We spent an eternity With different places that we need to be Me without you And you just fine without me [Chorus] And they'll never let us in We'll be outsiders once again If we were ever anything else, I don't know But that just brings us closer Yeah they'll never let us in We'll be outsiders once again If we were ever anything else, I don't know No [Bridge] Oh and after everyone's gone home They're still out there and they're swinging at shadows Wasting time holding lines that have become Just like the blanks fired from a hired gun Ringing out for no-one [Outro] Yeah they'll never let us in We'll be outsiders once again If we were ever anything else, I don't know But that just brings us closer And they'll never let us in We'll be outsiders once again If we were ever anything else, I don't know No
