Yeah, we are running and how we are running
Across the hills in the pop art blue
Buzzers fly above the car
Circling us as if they knew
If I fall down if I fall down
Darling, will you reel me in?
If I lose it if I lose it
Will you remind where we've been?

So we were climbing and how we were climbing
The cartoon trees up to the sky
As the sun drops off the page
Gold it flew into my eye

Well, it's all up from here
It's like I can taste opportunity near
I cut myself on barbwire, getting wood for the fire
I was too busy staring at you
You

So then we were floating up, we were floating like particles into the night
High above the factories
We hitched a lift on a satellite
Lover will you spin me 'round?
May we never fall back to ground

Well it's all, up from here
It's like I can taste opportunity near
I cut myself on barbwire
Getting wood for the fire
I was too busy staring at you

Well it's all up from here
It's like I can taste opportunity near
I cut myself on barbwire
Getting wood for the fire
I was too busy staring at you
I was too busy staring at you (falling into) (getting wood for the fire)
I was too busy staring at you (into your eyes) (getting wood for the fire)
I was too busy staring at you (falling into) (getting wood for the fire)
I was too busy staring at you (into your eyes) (getting wood for the fire)
You (falling in to)
(Into your eyes)

(Into your eyes)
(Getting wood for the fire)
(Getting wood for the fire)
(Falling into)
(Into your eyes)
(Falling into)
(Into your eyes)

    lovely song . . .. almost like an anti-thesis to 'home' . . . a bright beauty as a foil to that dreamy masterpiece . . . zero 7 definitely moving on and evolving in terms of their sound and moods . . . this new album is filled with 'happy' and 'lighter' songs - seems like they've tabled out after a shaky 'the garden' - although i have a sense that fans of the first two albums [like me] will off-hand not like the new album or [as i did] slowly grow to like it. I guess everything needs to move on.

    Lyric Correction

    It's <i>buzzards</i> (as in the bird) not buzzers. The singer's English accent softens the ending of the word, so I guess why some people hear buzzer.

    It makes sense for buzzards to circle above a car, since that's what they do; they love roads, easy access to roadkill since a buzzard is an opportunistic (read: lazy) hunter.

    This song just evokes lovely, happy memories of driving through Devon and Cornwall for me, it seems so very English countryside. Happy holidays in

    My Opinion

    Extremely good song, with a few other songs from this album the absolute best Zero 7 have ever produced.

    This album will feel weird and alien to many people who enjoy the first two albums, but if you let it, it will grow beyond both of those in depth.

    What is the pop art blue? Is like a "sad art of pop" or something like that? I didn't get this part: "Across the hills in the pop art blue"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
