Guillemots São Paulo Lyrics

Sit down my love of open s___es and greet my love that's all be spent
I'm going to tell you both the story about some memories that I dreamt
See I've lost love in many places not least the streets of São Paulo
And friends especially, I didn't make them, the tenth floor window to her home

Sometimes I could cry for miles, sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles but I don't

So hush the shadows in the oak tree be still the curlew on the moor
My heart has fallen by the wayside I cannot claim her anymore
So don't your duffle coats quite slowly and this drop jury shall adjourn
While on the streets of old São Paulo I watch my baby being burned

Sometimes I could cry for miles, sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles but I don't
Sometimes I could cry nine times drop my bags and run for miles
Sometimes I could live nine lives but I won't, but I won't

Have you ever been thrown across the water?
Have you ever been thrown across the water?
Have you ever been thrown across the water till there's no skin left on your bones?

Thrown across water, thrown across water, thrown across water like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water, thrown across water like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water, thrown across water like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water, thrown across water like a stone

Get me a doctor, get me a doctor who will get rid of my bones
Get me a lover, get me a lover who will leave my head alone
Get me a soldier, get me a soldier who will fight me pointless war
Get me an exit, I need an exit, I need a window or a door
Thrown across water, thrown across water, thrown across water like a stone
Get me a lawyer, get me a lawyer who will sue the world for me
Get me a person, get me a person, get me a person who isn't me
Because I'm getting tired, I'm getting tired of my stupid little face
I don't belong here, don't belong here, don't belong in this horse-race

Thrown across water, thrown across water, thrown across water like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water, thrown across water like a stone
