Elbow - Switching Off lyrics

[Elbow - Switching Off lyrics]

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush

Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say? Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you

All the clocks give in and the traffic fades
And the insects like, like a neon choir
The instant fizz connection made
And the curtains sigh in time
With you

You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today switching off

Ran to ground, ran to ground but, I came off
But, I came off pretty well
I came off pretty well ran to ground
Ran to ground for a while there
But, I came off pretty well
But, I came off pretty well

Deep in the rain of sparks behind my

You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
