Scattered Black And Whites Lyrics - Asleep In The Back - Elbow

Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees 

My hands are black, the sun is going down 

She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam 

She's listening to the dream I weaved today 

Crosswords through the bathroom door 

While someone sings the theme-tune to the news 

And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air 

And that's what triggered this 

I come back here from time to time 

I shelter here some days

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

A high-back chair, he sits and stares 

A thousand yards and whistles marching-band 

Kneeling by and speaking up 

He reaches out and I take a massive hand 

Disjointed tales that flit between 

Short trousers and a full dress uniform 

And he talks of people ten years gone like I've known them all my life 

I scattered black and whites 

I come back here from time to time 

I shelter here some days 

I come back here from time to time 

I shelter here some days
