The Listening Chair

Dot

Cat, blue, piano

Are just some of the things I like

So the more that I see of them in my day

The better I sleep at night

Mum, dad, Giles, Lizzie

Juliet, uncle James

Are just some of the people I love

So the more of all them I can get in my day

The better I'll sleep at night

I can moonwalk, build castles

Play ping pong, talk to animals

Hold my breath for a really long time

And tell the future

Are just six of the things I can do

And the more I can fit of these things in my day

The better I sleep at night

Ahhh

The better I sleep at night

Composer or maybe an astronaut

This is what I'm gonna be when I grow up

I know 'cause I sing out all through the day

I fly through space by night

The teasing, the fighting, the hospitals

I don't wanna go anymore

I put a brave face on

Battle through the day

But I might cry myself to sleep

(Sleep)

I need more (Pinch, pinch, punch, punch)

(Dancing round the car park after lunch)

Gadgets or (Copy cats, gold stars)

(Cola cubes for good marks)

Pocket money (Shy type, show off)

(Your mom's got a Mazda, so what?)

I need more (Swap stickers, best friends

(Knight rider watcha tell the time again)

Gadgets or (The popular, blonde hair)

(All the pretty girls sit over there)

Pocket money (Sisters, in school)

(He's cool, our brother knows karate)

What do I do to make you hate me so much?

Is it the clothes I wear?

The way I speak?

Wonder bra thrown around the German classroom

You wouldn't understand

I'll never live it down

Hiding in the bushes

Or tip-toeing down the corridor

Stop it, you'll make me laugh

Why would I ever need to know this?

Mmh, somehow I'll get through

I never want this to end

This night, this music

With you in my arms

Switch in to the real world

No idea what I'm doing

But here it goes

There she goes

I've found the place

Feels like home

But I caught you kissing her

So suddenly I'm on my own

There's just not enough hours in the day

But things are going great, I can't complain

When I stumble to bed

I sleep like a baby

Finding my feet

Make love, make money, make a difference

Finding my feet

Connect, connect

Finding my feet (Make love, make money)

Make a difference

How'd you do that again?

Connect

Connect together

I find myself gazing out of the window for no reason

When did I stop eating bread?

And cheese?

I love cheese

I want to have children

But I don't want to have children

You know?

Something niggling

A feeling I can't quite explain (A question)

Online, offline

Like I'm not really here (The quiet)

Awake or sleeping

Somehow I can't tell the difference (A question)

Bright light outside

Dark deep down within

It's a cover up

It was a cover up operation all along

Honing in

I'm honing in on the heart

Heart of it all

Toughen up

I've got to toughen up

'Cause I'm breaking it all apart

What's at the heart

What's at the heart of it all?

Who am I now?

Who am I now?
