The Uke Song

(album: Demo Recordings - 2012)

Baby the world's off-kilter, and my heart don't filter
All the truths and all the lies and all the times I thought I'd seen enough
So with a windswept daydream and a disco ray-beam
Through the gloom and through the rain and through the sludge I'll never give it up
I've been so true
So why?

And there you were, looking as pretty as always
In a hideous hallway. The city of Galway
Couldn't shine as bright as you were shining that evening
No, I am not leaving, don't you try and deceive me into
Going back to where I came from this morning
Those eyes you're adorning could keep me till morning
And I could wait an entire millennium
For one carpe diem with you

So if you're gonna break my heart
Please, get out the hammer and break it all the way
Because I'm slipping through the cracks you left me
The traps are deadly and I don't think I can stay

So if you're gonna break my heart
Please, get out the hammer and break it all the way
Because I'm slipping through the cracks you left me
The traps are deadly and I don't think I can stay

Baby the world's off-kilter, and my heart don't filter
All the truths and all the lies and all the times I thought I'd seen enough
So with a windswept daydream and a disco ray-beam
Through the gloom and through the rain and through the sludge I'll never give it up
I've been so true
So why?
