Elbow

Not a Job Lyrics

Pull the final splinters
Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a breakWhat's the fascination?
With lovers at the station
You have to tear yourself awayThe dream again nobody understands
Walkin' through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it offWords to make her stay, you said
Leave me and the plants die
A panic smile across your face
Corrugated brow line
An' hissing bitter punchline
Call when you can tie your laceThe dream again nobody understands
Walkin' through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it off
Sleep it off
Sleep it offHissing bitter punchline
Hissing bitter punchline
Bitter punchlineHissing bitter punchline
Hissing bitter punchline
Bitter punchlineThe dream again nobody understands
Walkin' through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
You rule my world
You rule my world my brother
You rule my world
You rule my world compadre
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
