Broken Bottles and Chandeliers Lyrics by Guy Garvey

Courting the Squall

2015

[Verse 1]
Heartbreak big and unfair
I hit my head off every stair
But in her eyes the approaching years
All broken bottles and chandeliers
[Chorus]
Put eyes on the skyline
There's bliss in the kiss of the sunshine
[Verse 2]
Oh the moon is a list and a truth
And the stars take that feeling they do
When I drank like a baby and cried
I kissed the world, I curled up and died
[Chorus]
With less of this night time
There's bliss in the kiss of the sunshine
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
[Verse 3]
She brought the house down on to my bed
But she couldn't keep her hands from my hair
She had a wraith-like hold on my heart
But I didn't buy a word that she said
[Chorus]
Oh it wasn't that right
There's bliss in the kiss of the sunshine
I come down on my side
There's bliss in the kiss of the sunshine
[Outro]
But in her eyes the approaching years
All broken bottles and chandeliers
