Emily Chambers Lyrics - Ocean Colour Scene

Emily Chambers would make it pay 

Everyone knew she'd turn out that way 

She turned her back and she'll be okay, but she's not okay at all 

Every night with the radio on, Emily fears that the day won't come 

The moon is there to do her harm, she's not all right at all 

Don't get arrested, don't buy a machine gun 

You're not on the run and you're not on the scene 

You're not so cool and you're not a jerk 

You may be a villain, but no Patty Hearst 

You're Emily Chambers and what's worse 

Is a whipping wind and a box in a hearse 

And a trigger in your head and a pen in your hand 

And the pain in the verse and the flat, drying land 

And the thin in the air and a pain that hurts 

You're Emily Chambers in the universe 

Emily Chambers would make it pay 

Everyone knew she'd turn out that way 

Turned her back and she'll be okay, she's not okay at all 

Every night with the lamplight on, Emily fears that the day has gone 

The moon is there to do her harm, she's not all right at all 

Don't get arrested, don't buy a machine gun 

You're not on the run and you're not on the scene 

You're not so cool and you're not a jerk 

You may be a villain, but no Patty Hearst 

You're Emily Chambers and what's worse 

Is a whipping wind and a box in a hearse 

And a trigger in your head and a pen in your hand 

And the pain in the verse and the flat, drying land 

And the thin in the air and a pain that hurts 

You're Emily Chambers in the universe, grab on 

Emily Chambers would make it pay 

Everyone knew she'd turn out that way 

Emily Chambers would make it pay 

Emily knew she'd turn out that way
