Dog Days Are Over Lyrics & Meanings: Happiness, hit her like a train on a track / Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back / She hid around corners and she hid under beds / She killed it with kisses and from it she fled / With every bubble she sank with a drink / And washed it away down the kitchen sink / / The dog days are over / The dog days are done / The horses are coming so you better run / / Run fast for your mother run fast for your father / Run for your children for your sisters and brothers / Leave all your love and your longing behind you / Can't carry it with you if you want to survive / / The dog days are over / The dog days are done / Can't you hear the horses / 'Cause here they come / / And I never wanted anything from you / Except everything you had / And what was left after that too, oh / / Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back / Struck from a great height / By some man who should know better than that / / The dog days are over / The dog days are done / Can you hear the hors

Conductor Lyrics & Meanings: I tried to control my shaking / With just one sound / I tried to warm the ocean / By writing it down / I tried to tame my nightmare / Line by line / If I write a song about you / Does that make you mine? / / The conductor caught in slow motion / The orchestra plays on / Over and over, the same motion / This work is never done / / The only thing that's certain / Is your indecision / I guess it must be working / Cause you hit me with such precision / Now the strings are breaking / Their fingers run with blood / But they keep on playing / The cycle never stops / / Who's in control? / Who's playing who? / / She wants to be amongst them / Conducting them too / She knows the song won't save her / But what else can she do? / She weeps just like a willow / She's playing for you / She's fragile and she's ferocious / As the current flows through / / She's a conductor caught in slow motion / The orchestra plays loud / Over and over, the same motion / This work is never done / / Now he

South London Forever Lyrics & Meanings: And I go home alone / I drive past the place that I was born / And the places that I used to drink / Young and drunk and stumbling in the street / Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet / With the art students and the boys in bands / High [?] and holding hands with someone that I just met / / I thought it doesn't get better than this / Better than this / There can be nothing better than this / Better than this / And we climbed onto the roof, the museum / And someone made love in the glass / And I'd forgot my name / And the way back to my mother's house / With your black cool eyes and your bitten lips / The world is at your fingertips / It doesn't get better than this / What else could be better than this? / / Oh, don't you know I have seen / I have seen the fields aflame / And everything I ever did / Was just another way to scream your name / / Over and over and over and over again / Over and over and over and over again / / And we're just childr

King Lyrics & Meanings: We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children / About the world ending and the scale of my ambition / And how much is art really worth? / The very thing you're best at / Is the thing that hurts the most / But you need your rotten heart / Your dazzling pain like diamond rings / You need to go to war to find material to sing / / I am no mother / I am no bride / I am king / / I need my golden crown of sorrow / My bloody sword to swing / My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology / / I am no mother / I am no bride / I am king / / I am no mother / I am no bride / I am king / / But a woman is a changeling / Always shifting shape / Just when you think you have it figured out / Something new begins to take / What strange claws are these / Scratching at my skin? / I never knew my killer would be coming from within / / I am no mother / I am no bride / I am king / / I am no mother / I am no bride / I am king / / I need my golden crown of sorrow / My bloody sword to swing /

Morning Elvis Lyrics & Meanings: When they dressed me and they put me on a plane to Memphis, well / I never got to see Elvis / I just sweated it out in a hotel room / But I think the king would have understood / Why I never made it to Graceland / The bathroom towels were cool against my head / I pressed my forehead to the floor and prayed for a trapdoor / I've been here many times before / But I've never made it to Graceland / / And if I make it to the mornin' / I should've come with a warnin' / And if I make it to the stage / I'll show you what it means / To be sad / / Well, pick me up in New Orleans / Pinned in a bathroom stall / Pick me up above my body / Press my corpse against the wall / I told the band to leave without me / I'll get the next flight / And I'll see you all with Elvis / If I don't survive the night / / If I make it to the mornin' / I should've come with a warnin' / And if I make it to the stage / I'll show you what it means / To be sad / / And if they'd ever tore us where I quit / It's
