[Verse 1]
For every hour in the world elsewhere
We talked about a future
So special, I had no
Doubts who you could become
A confidence I'd not seen
Of you, so rare, a turning of the heads
[Chorus]
A turning of the heads
We catch each other out
With our tall tales
We catch each other out
[Verse 2]
The greyhounds run their fences
[?] and Fitzgerald
Talked in their churches
Yes I believe
When we escaped their earshot
For I am not a brave man
Confronted with a smile
[?] everybody
[Chorus]
Confronted with a smile
We catch each other out
With our tall tales
We catch each other out
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
We tied a bootlace and hung a scarf
To the accommodating tree
That circled the bottle
Kept in the magic
That tapped the ghosts of the non-believers
You made a cross out of birch
And enveloped in it
I said a silent prayer
For you to the [?] Mary
Tripped plaster virgin
[Chorus]
The turning of the heads
We catch each other out
With our tall tales
We catch each other out
[Verse 4]
And whilst you spoke your obscenities
Thus proving her helpless state
I was scared you would spit or piss
In this regard
But you just laughed
At this strange country
With its strange old gods, and ghosts and [?]
And foreign drunk explorers
How strange we should find peace...
[Chorus]
With one another
We catch each other out
With our tall tales
We catch each other out
[Instrumental Outro]
