Laughing Aloud Lyrics - Singles - David Ford

Eight weeks in the city 

And you've never looked so pale 

They say, the pure of heart don't stand a chance 

And you'd better learn to swim 

'Cause there will be rainy days 

I'm blinded by the brake lights 

Well, there's nothing moving here 

And all your burning questions 

They just get answered with another one 

And there's no help at all 

So question me no questions 

It's a pointless enterprise 

You ask and I'll only tell you 

Exactly what I think you want to hear 

Oh, mind the whitest lies 

'Cause the truth, well, it's for students for philosophy 

And faith is for losers like us 

And secrets are for people 

Who intend to get away with being in the wrong 

So don't you breath a word 

But save your breath for the laughing aloud again 

Save your breath for the talking all night 

Oh, save you breath for the laughing aloud again 

Save your breath, save your breath 

Will you listen to those bleeding hearts? 

Pretend to show concern 

And so we glanced towards our watches 

And join in as everybody sings 

Oh, what have we become? 

Will you hop a train to anywhere? 

It sure ain't no place like home 

Where there are no strangers 

Only people you don't wanna know 

But before the crying out loud 

Just save your breath for the laughing aloud again 

Save your breath for the talking all night 

Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud 

Oh, save your breath, save your breath 

So meet me by the station 

And bring a change of heart 

And smile away the old country 

As we watch it disappear 

And pull these years apart 

And scatter from the window 

To settle on the fields 

And tell yourself a hundred times 

That forever starts today 

And think how good it feels 

To save your breath for the laughing aloud again 

Save your breath for the talking all night 

Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud again 

Save your breath, save your breath 

Save your breath for the laughing aloud again 

Save your breath for the talking all night 

Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud 

Oh, save your breath, save 

Oh, save your breath 

(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore) 

Save your breath 

(There must be something you consider to be worth fighting for) 

Save your breath 

(Waste your breath on running circles) 

(Round and round and round) 

Save your breath 

(And talk about it when it cannot get you down) 

Save your breath 

(Nobody wants that much, we just want more) 

Save your breath 

(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore) 

Save your breath 

(Don't waste your breath on running circles) 

(Round and round and round and round) 

Save your breath, save your breath
