Gary Speed Lyrics by The Bantams

Archbishop

2017

[Verse 1]
Take the train home after all my friends have gone on their own
Eagle eye the window, traveling backwards, linear motion
I'm the only one to blame, underwhelming and fixated on the side stage and the b-grade attractions
Just warm blooded creatures, earned the right to do this wrong
[Chorus]
Smelling salts they've fallen down, all burned out
What is left to lose?
It's just stationary silence, broken down, speed away
To you
[Verse 2]
I'll be over in five minutes turn the lights off and go
I've got nothing better to do
Went from pillow fights to riding bikes to slashing tires to light bonfires
Shining in the night
Read a story last week: Miss Congeniality
Know that she was well loved
Until she stole all of the cash, took the kid up and dashed
Burned out interstate in New Mexico
[Chorus]
Smelling salts they've fallen down, all burned out
What is left to lose?
It's just stationary silence, broken down, out of speed
Were you?
[Bridge]
Having a whale of a time
Having a whale of a time
Having a whale of a time with you
