Well it must have been All Saints' Day they supported the Young Guns And so I dressed up like a star on the set of the Young Ones I picked up my coat and floated out the door And it felt like I wouldn't have to think any more But I hastened to call you while you were blacking out Cause you wanted to know what the fuss was about It's not a question of impulse, but being proactive And I don't think I've ever made a single exact division And there's nothing like cruel derision To upset an exec decision Still, I know my life It flows whichever way the water runs Some incredible beauty passed my way as I crawled to the concert And we met at the hands as we chanted the tunes till our lungs hurt I couldn't believe that I'd pulled such a goddess And if she's not perfection, then I don't know what is In hindsight I hyped over only one touch But whatever her name is, I loved her so much You know I can't really help it who I find attractive And I don't think I've ever made a single exact division And there's nothing like cruel derision To upset an exec decision Still, I know my life It flows whichever way the water runs Do you think I'm in love? I don't think so Not today Do you think I'm in love? Well, I hope not Oh, I can't say Oh, you've got to be kidding, I could see this coming from a mile away I was lost in your lips, not perceiving I'd taken your smile away If you wanted a change, why'd you settle for me? I'm simply afraid this is all I can be Well, don't stand there shaking, get out of my sight For all you got wrong, babe, you got one thing right: I won't stand for misfortune, I just can't accept it And I don't think that either one of us could have kept it spinning Or that either of us were winning Or could bear to have kept on grinning Still, you know my life It's nice to see you Now I've got to run Got to run (Run) Got to run (Run) Got to run (Run)

Break out tonight And wash away the soil I couldn't bear it if you hid a thing from me Fade out to light And fuck this mortal coil I can't imagine being parted by the sea And I will sing for you The happiest of songs To help you sleep And in the distance All the world is humming by But we'll keep Wait, I'm out on the tiles And I don't feel the same Could you forgive me if I ever lost my way? Eighty thousand smiles And every one of them a flame That tells us everything we ever need to say And maybe one day Like a leaf that's blown away You'll have to go So hold me close That somehow time would stop for us Or just slow

My sister thinks your new boyfriend looks fifty She put it better than I ever could She thinks the game you play is rather nifty I guess you call yourself misunderstood Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo Doo-doo doo And if you wanna go home, you can stay home this time In your run-down beach house And I hope you sleep out And never reach out We were stuck on a runaway trolley And it was either gonna kill one of us or five others So you pulled the brakes down Man, I hope you stay down Cyanide can help you raise a devil It plucks the unibrow from off your face And you could never really get up to my level You couldn't even join the human race Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo Doo-doo doo And if you wanna go home, you can stay home this time In your run-down beach house And I hope you sleep out And never reach out We were stuck on a runaway trolley And it was either gonna kill one of us or five others So you pulled the brakes down Man, I hope you stay down When the mark on the ministry man is faded And the cab for the criminal's armour-plated When you ask for a mineral and get sedated It's cessated Ohhh... And if you wanna go home, you can stay home this time And if you wanna go home, you can stay home this time

about

Recorded at Lost Boys Studio, All Saints’ Day is a brisk guide through the crumbling of an imagined relationship. With youthful retaliation between trips to festivals and gigs, the narrator comes to gain more confidence in a future alone with the realisation - “Still I know my life / It flows whichever way the water runs.”
