Next To You Lyrics
When you said go and I went
Like a gooseberry on Noah's ark
And I set sail without you
And we were carried on the flood of your tears
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
As all this crying subsides
But I'm like Columbus in India
Like those holy souvenirs from Knock
That come all the way from China
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
For an age or two
I hope the wind changes
And the vacuum in space will draw me to you
I hope the wind changes
This is my favorite song on the album! The trumpet at the end...... euphoric thats how i feel at the gigs when they play this song!!! Its about the games we play in realtionships "u said go and i went". I also think itsa about how were never happy or content with what we have and we only appreciate it when its gone!
i agree with moon soldier. also, bell x1 again make a romantic/graphic image with the line "can i get back under?", theres lots of these in there music. theres an honest touch to it which i like.
This song gets me everytime God, I love it
The correct lyric is
'Like those holy souvenirs from Knock'
I know this has been out for a long time but looking here today I noticed no one mentioned my favourite line in the song-
"Time pulls a face when I'm next to you, let's hope hope the wind changes"
This comes from one of those old wives tales that if you make silly faces and the wind changes direction that you'd be stuck that way forever.
He wants time to be stuck so that he can be next to her forever.
Maybe that was obvious to everyone already...
that was not obvious to me, thank you!
that was not obvious to me, thank you!
"you said go and I went" ... it's true it's like the games we play, except sometimes we take them far too seriously, because to leave somebody behind on Noah's ark is a bit permanent. but he hopes the wind changes...
