Emily, gate is locked.
By the time we found the way in the way out was blocked,
And Emily, all my tricks are off the cuff.
No longer trying to push the boundaries of society,
But too young to know the limits of anxiety,
Oh, Emily, I never got enough.
Emily, cars are frozen.
Emily, doors are closing.
Emily, the pictures say that you were there.
Emily, voodoo candles.
Emily, CB handles.
Emily, I'm living life without a care.
Emily, as we fill different shapes,
We must never forget the fact that at our core we are apes,
And Emily, might sound harsh but them's the breaks.
You know I'm open to you and I want to believe.
Hope there's a heaven for you, means there's a heaven for me,
But Emily, would we have all that it takes?
Emily, crowded skylines.
Emily, cryptic bylines.
Emily, which questions will you answer to?
Emily, how'd you find this many consolation prizes?
Emily, the answer lies somewhere in you.
Emily, can't parse it out,
But at least now I got something I can shout about.
And Emily, think it's time for one more bout.
Maybe it's just mutual insanity.
Maybe love's a detour from reality.
Come over, Emily, if ever you're in doubt.
Emily, 'round the corner.
Emily, on your honor.
Emily, wish I could say I was surprised.
Emily, tip of your tongue.
Emily, life from your lungs.
Emily, our lives will not be televised.
It was dark on the day when we got here, and we'll leave it as dark on the day that we leave.
Emily, doors are closing.
Emily, cars are frozen.
Emily, which questions will you answer to?
Emily, how'd you find this many consolation prizes?
Emily, the answer lies somewhere in you.
This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
