[00:08.59] | “My Favourite Wet Wednesday Afternoon” |
[00:12.53] | |
[00:20.58] | The sight of the façade of the Palace Hotel, Southend |
[00:26.77] | With every sense I think of you - it sends me round the bend |
[00:33.41] | Love that moves the sun in heaven, and all the stars |
[00:40.09] | This is just a fraction of what is rightfully ours |
[00:46.21] | |
[00:46.73] | Please whirl me around |
[00:49.97] | There's no earthly reason |
[00:53.13] | No earthly reason |
[00:56.37] | There is no earthly reason |
[00:59.79] | For darkness after dawn |
[01:04.00] | |
[01:06.16] | It's not that I want to be rich, I just want to be heroically poor |
[01:12.56] | Money may buy happiness, but you can give me more |
[01:18.96] | I want back my favourite wet Wednesday afternoon |
[01:25.42] | I'll take my dreams to the grave with me |
[01:28.60] | If you don't say something soon |
[01:31.53] | |
[01:32.34] | Please whirl me around |
[01:35.34] | There's no earthly reason |
[01:38.37] | No earthly reason |
[01:41.32] | There is no earthly reason |
[01:45.03] | For a boy to burn |
[01:49.42] | |
[01:51.67] | The Peak Frean's factory pumping smoke reminds me of the past |
[01:57.23] | Of waking up quite terrified, of always coming last |
[02:04.02] | Are you, like me, looking up at the sky? |
[02:07.26] | Or do you look down as you read? |
[02:10.29] | The red apples are the sweetest," he said, but green is the colour for me |
[02:16.20] | |
[02:16.88] | Please whirl me around |
[02:20.14] | There's no earthly reason |
[02:23.41] | No earthly reason |
[02:26.31] | There is no earthly reason |
[02:29.68] | For rotting fruit to fall |
[02:36.10] | |
[02:36.20] | The smell of chips on a summer evening in Southend |
[02:42.32] | With every sense I think of you, it sends me round the bend |
[02:48.64] | Love that moves the sun in heaven, and all the stars |
[02:55.15] | This is just a fraction of what is rightfully ours |
[03:01.42] | |
[03:01.70] | Please whirl me around |
[03:04.73] | There's no earthly reason |
[03:07.89] | No earthly reason |
[03:10.95] | There is no earthly reason |
[03:14.16] | For a boy to burn |
