Real Lies - Dolphin Junction lyrics

RIP Jack. Sleep well, Rory. Hometown hearts
Taken young
There was a pact we made that
We’d stay friends for life
One humid summer night
Then you left town
Cos your mum kept breaking down

So did your poor heart start
To feel like an arcade?
With all the pills we’d take
Till the lads got flowered up
Married off to floral tributes
From the closing shops
In a rattling car the four of us took flight
Driving high as kites
To your new town
Cos your world was falling down… again
And if we made it there
We’d take you by surprise
Shake off the suicide

Our laughtеr fogged the windows up
But therе was no more laughter after
We called you, and the line was cut
Wide-eyed teenhood. Suburban dust
Sapphire cider tubs, dead Rizla skins
Micky Finn tape packs
Red Mit'sis and Doves
We got lost in your city. So
Rang back through the rain

But a stranger told us you’d gone away
And we never heard from you again
Won’t wait to make my mind up
I’d find you with both eyes shut
Left on the corner for love
Last on the beat alone
And I still wonder whether
You’re dead or alive

On humid summer nights
I missed that mercy mission
Making stupid young decisions
And sometimes I find I’m
Lashed against the past
I’ve cried a dozen times
He thought he sold that car for parts
But that car became my heart
And if you ever start to wonder

Why sometimes I’m down and distant
Why I fly off the radar
Why no night is quite enough
And if you ever wonder, what I see
When I lose control
That makes me hate control
That’s when I’m back with them again
