Gruff Rhys - Silver Lining (Lead Balloons) lyrics

There’s no use crying
When you’re alone at night
There’s no use crying when you’re
At home in daylight
There’s no use crying over milk that’s spilt
It’s time for a change and change can
Choke you up or cheer

Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think is time to gain

There’s no use lying when you’ve got
Mud on your face there’s no use lying down
When life’s at pacе
There’s no use lining all your drеams
With silver for silver lined clouds look
Much like lead balloons

Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think is time to gain

There’s no use having second thoughts
Or thirds
The fourth and fifth dimensions are
Usually for the birds
In six and sevens come the wonder eighth
A distant chime begins
A countdown into space

Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think is time to gain

Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and change the tunes
I left my dreams in a rental car
Live for now and dream afar
