lyrics

Cross London Bridge past that London Dungeon
Sometimes pollution makes it hard to function
Sunk in the air there’s a passing judgement
Just search in the haze for the punctuation
But the fun’s gotta stop somewhere the page reads
Lack of apostrophe could drive a man crazy
In the sign for the coffee shop
Next to the office block
Looking for a double meaning
Settle for a double shot
Did I mention I like you a Latte?
We could share stories we just glance ‘cross the cafe
Ostriches burying deep into our phone screens
If only just to seem a little less lonely

And I don’t mind
My head is fine
Just breathe in air
We’ll get there
And though this world can feel so cold
Just breathe in air

Now I’m not used to this Highland climate
But make something out of bamboo I’ll climb it
Don’t understand a word which is awkward
But apparently there’s no better place to be in August
Not that we get a chance to see the festival
Sat in an enclosure like an oriental vegetable
Love is something that can grow slowly
She seems nice but she still needs to get to know me
And I need to get to know her in every sense
She’s also from China such a coincidence
What are the chances?
We’ve so much in common!
She absolutely loves bamboo
And maybe one day we could try for a baby but
We’ve gotta take our time we’re not crazy
And it’s our business I won’t shout it with candour
Just a day in the life of an unsuspecting panda


It’s a man’s world providing you’re a straight man
And you’re not one of those from another race mans
Not all the world’s a stage
We forget the stage hands
Stuck behind the curtain and kicked into the wasteland
And you can see it from Manor House park view
Can’t see past it but the park can see past you
Don’t feed the ducks bread
Messes with the ducks head
Bird seed is much more sensible
And I felt like digging my phone from my pocket
Holding it out over the water just to drop it
See the ripples it creates like the constant sound waves
And feeling refreshed from the splashing sound made
But of course I’m far too sensible
A compromise would be more easily defensible
Instead of such a dramatic gesture of sorts
I turn it off and for once just let myself walk
