Smiles & Grins

Smiles & Grins

(Brown)

The smiles on city windows it's only the weekly cleaner

The dials on all the faces are gradually getting nearer

So make it careful when you can

Forget it if you've read the plan

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hard when you're locked out

Grins painted on radiators it's only the teeth of laughter

The numbers of all the victories are stenciled on soon after

So don't regret to leaves that fall

Have a little have it all

Take a bit give just as much nights are hard without the touch

The smiling suburban collars they power the city cisterns

Whenever they pull the train chains they gradually start the pistons

So keep your hair on if you can

When you're living in a van

Call a friend when you're in doubt

Nights are hoarse when you're locked out

Grins painted on petrol tigers are only the tanks of porter

Statistics of all the campaigns are written down on water

So don't regret the cars that rust everything must turn to dust

Cultivate and dig your croft

Nights are hard when you've gone soft

Lovers in the dark murders in the park

By the silv'ry moon yeah

Blankets from the fear cars when roads are near

Winter's much too soon

Yeah yeah
