Quiet Houses - Big Town Lyrics

Running up the cobbles with those blue tinsel eyes
Parading in your aviator where’s it gonna be tonight?

Dancing down the bridges past the wet cigarettes
Empty cans beneath the railings staring at the window silhouettes

You know me the best

Are you looking?

I wanna kiss you in this tenement stairwell
You gotta promise that you won’t ever tell
Cue the rain machines the orchestra the timpani
I’m pirouetting like a figurine and singing out

I’m gonna miss this Big Town

Standing on the esplanade we’re shaking in the rain
I don’t wanna miss this but I’m struggling to concentrate

Can’t be that I want you cause I’m leaving you behind
Double check my tickets there everybody’s laughing but I don’t know why
I shouldn’t even try

Are you looking?

I wanna kiss you in this tenement stairwell
You gotta promise that you won’t ever tell
Cue the rain machines the orchestra the timpani
I’m pirouetting like a figurine and singing out
