Felt better alive

Letra

I gave my nights up for old songs, sound better alive,
I gave my life over to old songs, sound better alive,
I dredged the mouth of the Humber, felt better alive,
Slipped unnoticed across your border, felt better alive…

The song it skips and bumps along,
Seems to fall apart, then all I want as it comes together, sing the melody…

I tip-toed around gravestones digging up old songs, felt better oh my,
I tip-toed around gravestones digging up old songs, was a hell of a night...

The song it skips and bumps along,
Seemed to fall apart, then all at once it came together in sacred melody…

And I’d always planned,
To sing in a sweet and soulful way as only cowboys can,
But my saddle strap snapped like a dog-chewed tourniquet,
And the sky fell low over north London,
And it hangs low until this day.

I dreamt of gunfights in Toledo, when I opened my eyes,
I was in the layby north of Telford, an A-road layby,
And as the tour had gunked and jumped along, seemed to fall apart,
Then all at once ran true as a ley line under sacred Albion.

And I had always planned,
To sing in a sweet and soulful way as only a cowboy can,
But my saddle strap snapped like a dog-chewed tourniquet,
And the sky hangs low over Margate sands,
And it hangs low yet…
