It Ended On An Oily Stage Lyrics - Singles - British Sea Power

Everything you said was true 

Everything you did was you 

Everything I started with her 

Ended on an oily stage where 

I wrote elegiac stanzas for you 

I hope and pray that they come true 

He found God 

In a parking lot 

And you did not 

I, I headed for the coastal reef 

Regions of mind 

To see what I'd find 

But I do understand 

Why they're looking at you 

As if you ever really cared 

All across the Eastern Board 

Languages were being lost 

You look so elegantly bored now 

Totally at ease with it all, yeah 

Whilst you were drunk, oh, you let it all slip 

I hope and pray that it's okay 

He found God 

In a Wiltshire field 

Whilst you did not 

I, I headed for the coastal reef 

Regions of mind 

To see what I'd find 

But I do understand 

Why they're looking at you 

As if you ever really cared
