Digital Camera (A Word For The End)

You knew that rule, Mr. Paine
And I loved you for it, just as my father did
And you know that you fight for the lost causes harder than for any others
Yes, you'd even die for them

So have a word
A word for the end
Pack your bags and suitcase
Tell a friend, tell a friend
We're camping, telephone wires
And pebble beaches, bonfires when it's over
I've got the torch and the pliers
We'll make a shelter and flyers
And hand them out while it's light
Link hands in places despised
So you know that
We were ahead of our time
But paperclips rust
And filing gets lost
In shattered glass hands
Our memories fog up
Like crystal snowglobes
Or how that joke goes
We'll dance in slow mo'
And forget

Now is the time
You'll live in my digital camera
Memories are best kept remembered
So let's rewind
You'll live in my digital camera
Memories are best kept remembered

We'll seek refuge in pylons and powerlines
Sick seachange to stop you from leaving
Our drug misuse is morse code for spelling out
Letters and numbers

So have a word
A word for the road
When we're sleeping together
You know we're barely alone
We'll stumble into the back room
Got no hope for the future
No hope
We're electric, meters metric
And your letters, letters sent with
With love, and lies
You know i-i tri-ied
To entertain you
I just can't contain you
I just can't blame you
I saw that plane too
I want to leave here
But I am too scared
Oh, you're too blunt again
Fuck your metaphors
Fuck your metaphors!!

Now is the time
You'll live in my digital camera
Memories are best kept remembered
So let's rewind
You'll live in my digital camera
Memories are best kept remembered
Ah, fuck

We'll seek refuge in pylons and powerlines
Sick seachange to stop you from leaving
Our drug misuse is morse code for spelling out
Letters and numbers
