Prove It Lyrics
The docks
the clocks
a whisper woke him up
the smell of water
would resume.
the cave
the waves
of light the unreal night.
that flat curving
of a room.
PROVE IT...JUST THE FACTS...
THE CONFIDENTIAL
THIS CASE, THIS CASE, THIS CASE THAT I...
I'VE BEEN WORKIN' ON SO LONG...
first you creep
then you leap
up about a hundred feet
yet you're in so deep
you could write the Book.
Chirpchirp
the birds
they're giving you the words
The world is just a feeling
yo undertook.
Remember?
Now the rose
it slows
you in such colorless clothes
Fantastic! You lose your sense of human.
Project
Protect
It's warm and it's calm and it's perfect
It's too "too too"
to put a finger on
This case is closed.
the clocks
a whisper woke him up
the smell of water
would resume.
the cave
the waves
of light the unreal night.
that flat curving
of a room.

Great song! - Television show a humourous side. Everytime I hear it, I think about those B&W Gumshoe Detective 50's series - Dragnet, etc - the Chorus is so evocative of them - I can see Verlaine with coat and hat grilling down a suspect in a dark room with one lamp. Love the whistling birds part, and of course, the end - "This case is closed" - Mega!
This means pretty much the same as "I might be wrong", it's about a guy who has practically devoted his life to finding some tangible philosophy, but the impossibility of objectivity. It's all angsty and stuff :( But i like it :)
of course the lyrics could have different readings and interpretations, but i read somewhere this particular one was based on "The Long Goodbye" a detective story by Raymond Chandler.
I bet that Elvis Costello's Watching The Detectives was majorly influenced by this song. Both great songs. Apparently my mum used to dance to this when she was my age, which is pretty weird to think about.
My favorite TV song, idk why but it’s always grabbed me.
