Idlewild - Hope Is Important Album Lyrics

What do you say if you've taken me over?
You say you're taking me over
You say you're taking me over
But I don't want to be illicit

We try to calm down
We seem to end in nosedive
We try to calm down
We seem to end in nosedive

One on one, you've taken me over
You say you're taking me over (you say)
You say you're taking me over
But I don't want to be illicit

You say
Wave goodbye (you say)
Hey hey hey hey

One on one, you've taken me over
You say you're taking me over
You say you're taking me over
But I don't want to be illicit

We try to calm down
We seem to end in nosedive
We try to calm down
We seem to end in nosedive

You say you're taking me over
You say you're taking me over
You say you're taking me over
But I don't want to be illicit

You say
I said wave goodbye (you say)

Say!
This is a film about the future, it is the future of your life
You think it's certain,but nothing is certain
No nothing is certain, no nothing is certain, no!

I know what you think, you think this film is about you
It isn't about you, it isn't about you
I know what you think, you think this film is about you
I know what you think, you think this film is about you

I never realised at this time before now
It's clear to see that you are the leader now
You're just following a lost leader now
Following a lost leader now

This is a film about the future, it is the future of your life
Which you think is certain, but nothing is certain
No nothing is certain, no nothing is certain, no!

I know what you think, you think this film is about you
It isn't about you, it isn't about you
I know what you think, you think this film is about you
I know what you think, you think this film is about you

Say, say

My wintertime came fast about your drawing pad
And then you told me
You didn't like closely
You don't like walking home
You're not sure who you are
And no one knows about your scar
But I told you to shut up once
Because you're never there
And you're too old to be scared

'Cause I've been in lots of these
Bad, bad situations

Paint nothing now
Paint nothing now

The summertime came fast; you still had your drawing pad
But you told me
You couldn't see me correctly
We don't like holding hands
We don't like playing guitar
And no one knows about your scars

But I've been in lots of these
Bad, bad situations

And you never get out of this easily
'Cause I've been in lots of these
Bad, bad situations

Paint nothing now
Paint nothing now

Send me here, send me there
Repetitions in the air
Repetitions in the air

I'm not really sure of all this pressure
I'm never going to lose any of my old letters
They'll stay with me, until I can see
Until I can see that I'm no one
They'll stay with me, until I can see
Until I can see that I'm no one
So don't slight it off 'cause you'll be fined
Don't start slighting off 'cause you'll be fined
All you ever do is build it up inside
All you ever do is build it up inside

I'm not really sure of all this pressure
I'm never going to lose any of my old letters
They'll stay with me, until I can see
Until I can see that I'm no one
So don't slight it off 'cause you'll be fined
Don't start slighting off 'cause you'll be fined
All you ever do is build it up inside
All you ever do is build it up inside

You smoke too much when you talk too much
And when I argue Syd Barrett makes me laugh
I laugh at your conversational skills, or lack of
I laugh at your conversational skills, or lack of

I'm not really sure of all this pressure
I'm never going to lose any of my old letters
They'll stay with me, until I can see
Until I can see that I'm no one
They'll stay with me, until I can see
Until I can see that I'm no one
So don't slight it off 'cause you'll be fined
Don't start slighting off 'cause you'll be fined
All you ever do is build it up inside
All you ever do is build it up inside

You smoke too much when you talk too much
And when I argue Syd Barrett makes me laugh
I laugh at your conversational skills, or lack of
I laugh at your conversational skills, or lack of

[x10]
'Cause when I argue I see shapes

You smoke too much when you talk too much
And when I argue sit back it makes me laugh
I laugh at your conversational skills, or lack of
I laugh at your conversational skills, or lack of

You can't always be the strange one
I'm spending you without a hope
For one

Pride in yourself into it
If you don't wanna stay
Go out into the light
You'll be better off that way

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
Send me downstairs

You stand there, you stand there
Watch him wonder
If he's wondering about the star

If he's wondering where they'll make him stay
If he doesn't want to stay
So you'll never be alone
Hey

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

The world is in my chaos dream but I am not invited, I said
The world is in my chaos dream but I am
Coz you don't know what people say

Abstract's a little boy, coz you and me talk freely at night
This is my chaos
Coz you got the right to stay in at night
Coz I supply and you were the last one to know
Coz you got the right to stay in at night
Coz I supply and you were the last one to know

Coz you don't know what people say
The world is in my chaos dream but I am
Coz you don't know what people say

Coz you don't know what people want to say

Abstract's a little boy, coz you and me talk freely at night
Coz this is my chaos

Cos I'm the only one who knows everyone barbecue lungs
None of you know what I'm thinking
Who on earth would believe a word you say?
You're disturbed in a strange fascinated way
You're disturbed, I think you're disturbed

I've told you once
To switch all the lights off
You never believe that
You never believe that

And you stay near the window
Falling out through the floor
Close the door (1, 2, 3, 4)
Falling out through the floor
Falling out through the floor

It's time for the maths test
I come over to see you, at your chair you face up
I reply and politely stare back, back
I'm so backward I almost forgot
Why I'm sinking

Falling out through the floor
Close the door (1, 2, 3, 4)
Falling out through the floor
Falling out through the floor

It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
Half the times I lack sound the way I really think of you otherwise...
Falling out through the floor
Close the door
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test

The common mistake is to forget
And concentrate on your never thought
The common mistake is to forget
I've remembered the part in your book
So I know exactly what is going on
Exactly what is going on
I don't think I know
Exactly what is going on
I think I know too much for myself

You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down

You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down

The common mistake is to forget
I always forget I forgot to remember
It's my common mistake
Exactly what is going on
Exactly what is going on
I don't think I know

You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down

You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
You know it's a long way down

You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down

You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
You know it's a long way down

I guess it's a long way down
I know it's a long way, it's a long way
