lyrics

That leap of faith that we made, naive dogs who can't behave.
You crossed, i fell, we're gone.
Feelings that you held for me, on polystyrene boards,
snap in two continue,
to hum it wrong when i sing you a beatle song.
From me to you something help in my life.

But you must be having a laugh,
Binevenagh never felt this far away.
I'm jumping on this plane i'm coming home.

Awkward sentences we said explode like stun grenades.
Shrapnel fills our mouths.
We'll pick them out with our tongues,
now go tell everyone, this boy is not all there.
You take my queen to realise your checkmate king.
You got to learn to think four moves ahead boy.

But you must be having a laugh,
Binevenagh never felt this far away.
I'm jumping on this plane i'm coming home.
But you must be having a laugh,
old Danny boy has never called from so far away.
I'm catching the next train then thumbing home.

Twenty four candles burn wax over all my fears.
I'm slowing but my futures fast,
god damn another year has past.
But these bones don't feel that old,
and i know we're getting closer,
creeping closer to the camera clicks,
and then we stick, and then we stick, and then we stick.

But you must be having a laugh,
Binevenagh never felt this far away.
I'm jumping on this plane i'm coming home.
But you must be having a laugh,
old Danny boy has never called from so far away,
I'm catching the next train then thumbing home.
