As Low As Possible Lyrics - Singles - Land Lovers

As I roved out, Westport Bridge Street 

Nearly twelve years old and my eyes were on my feet 

I was bang in step to those post-showband ballads 

And the hotel lobby promised Strawberry Beds and Sonny 

As a lowly cipher then, that seemed encrypted: and I drifted 

Off on a song 

Sent from the Turkish winter, three cassettes for a tenner 

Played as low as possible 

Then on a white Cretan terrace near the sun 

The breaks were fierce and the children always won 

The staff took their beatings well and stuck to singing 

Is She Really Going Out With Him? 

Joe Jackson, Prefab Sprout and Tears for Fears: painted-on ears 

Offered a song 

Nothing I sought or wanted, music had been invented 

Played as low as possible 

If there's a moment, one moment of importance 

And that's uncertain as life on other planets 

Then it's the morning you landed in our garage 

Holding a camera, some distant scientist tracking your moves 

You presented me, the native, with a clock around which to rock 

Oh, and a song 

Nothing I sought or wanted, music was re-invented 

Played as low as... 

Played as low as...
