Graham Coxon - Light up your candles lyrics
[Graham Coxon - Light up your candles lyrics]
Well I know you say now "very well done
Me old son" but, it's hard you know
every day is a dark dark one
'Cos my old friend's here
Tug tug tugging at my sleeve
You know he tugs so hard that he could
Almost make me leave
Light up your candles, into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I want you know
Light up your candles, 'cos here we go
It's a schlep this old life
Just one slip and you are gone
Back into the void where you came from
You can't light your own way
Through this dark unholy place
With just one candle and a happy face
So light it up now
Fill the darkness with your grace
With just one candle and a happy face
Light it up now, your happy
Face yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Light it up now, your happy face
It's too easy somehow
Just grit your teeth and let it go
Last seduction, total destruction
So what you gonna do now with
The good life you have found
Grin and bear it 'til you're
Six feet in the ground?
Light up your candles, into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I want you know
Light up your candles, 'cos here we go
Light it up now, 'cos here we go
Me old son" but, it's hard you know
every day is a dark dark one
'Cos my old friend's here
Tug tug tugging at my sleeve
You know he tugs so hard that he could
Almost make me leave
Light up your candles, into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I want you know
Light up your candles, 'cos here we go
It's a schlep this old life
Just one slip and you are gone
Back into the void where you came from
You can't light your own way
Through this dark unholy place
With just one candle and a happy face
So light it up now
Fill the darkness with your grace
With just one candle and a happy face
Light it up now, your happy
Face yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Light it up now, your happy face
It's too easy somehow
Just grit your teeth and let it go
Last seduction, total destruction
So what you gonna do now with
The good life you have found
Grin and bear it 'til you're
Six feet in the ground?
Light up your candles, into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I want you know
Light up your candles, 'cos here we go
Light it up now, 'cos here we go
