Hot Club De Paris - Everybody Got In Touch To Say Sorry lyrics

[Verse 1] The trapezes were broken Left swinging and creaking The last guy alive was clinging On throughout the evening And he didn't call out Not with the animals all sleeping But he'd get through the night because He just had a feeling that he could [Verse 2] The thumbs up and high fives Appeared through the bar And nobody's there to see them Are they real or are they not? There's a life lived in loops Playing out upon the hill Since the shirt collar got caught Upon the blade of a windmill [Pre-Chorus 1] And with a "whoa" and a "hey" and a kick and a flail And a "hey you guys, you hit the lights" This end of town's too creepy To be stranded here at night To think we could have stayed in Throwing pates against the wall And picking all the pieces up Before our housemates saw [Chorus] Everybody got in touch to say sorry that they'd all gone home Everybody got in touch to say sorry that they'd all gone home And if they're sorry, why did everybody just clear off home? Everybody got in touch to say sorry that they'd all gone home [Verse 3] The spire was pointing At the birds all looking down At the folks pouring like water Through the centre of the town Meanwhile the rivals stole the mascot On the eve of the big game And sent ransom notes to tell the team To get beaten on match day [Pre-Chorus 2] And boot slammed shut with a laugh and a shush And a "do you think that this is cruel?" His parents must be worried sick He never came back from school To think we could have stayed in With our guns shooting off rounds And thrown them in the river Before the cops came sniffing round [Chorus] Everybody got in touch to say sorry that they'd all gone home Everybody got in touch to say sorry that they'd all gone home And if they're sorry, why did everybody just clear off home? Everybody got in touch to say sorry that they'd all gone home
