Reversing by Gold Spectacles Lyrics
[Verse]
Has anybody got a spade?
To dig me out the mess we made
To level out landscape
How’s a garden sposed to grow
If you’re pulling up the patio
Filling up our bed with stones
[Pre-Chorus]
Here’s to living in the cold cold cold cold ground
Saying hello to the same old same old doubt
And it just keeps on going on
Yeah it just keeps on going on
[Chorus]
You’re saying
I’m all out, and making something of nothing
But can’t you see I’m trying to fix what’s broken?
Open wide, hey are you not observing?
Why is it that we just keep reversing?
[Verse]
I think we’re living in denial
Pretending that this feels right
Seeing like we’re losing sight
Of what the two of us used to be
Now the lawn is haunting me
Just holes and soil and weeds
[Pre-Chorus]
Here’s to living in the cold cold cold cold ground
Saying hello to the same old same old doubt
And it just keeps on going on
Yeah it just keeps on going on
[Chorus]
You’re saying
I’m all out, and making something of nothing
But can’t you see I’m trying to fix what’s broken?
Open wide, hey are you not observing?
Why is it that we just keep reversing?
You’re saying
I’m all out, and making something of nothing
But can’t you see I’m trying to fix what’s broken?
Open wide, hey are you not observing?
Why is it that we just keep reversing?
[Bridge]
We should go back to the backyard
Pull up the weeds, make a new start
Botanical cures and a wicker arch
Come on let the nettles of mistrust
Stinging at your heels, get cut up
Focus on the roots back to us
[Chorus]
You’re saying
I’m all out, and making something of nothing
But can’t you see I’m trying to fix what’s broken?
Open wide, hey are you not observing?
Why is it that we just keep reversing?
You’re saying
I’m all out, and making something of nothing
But can’t you see I’m trying to fix what’s broken?
Open wide, hey are you not observing?
Why is it that we just keep reversing?
Has anybody got a spade?
To dig me out the mess we made
To level out landscape
How’s a garden sposed to grow
If you’re pulling up the patio
Filling up our bed with stones
[Pre-Chorus]
Here’s to living in the cold cold cold cold ground
Saying hello to the same old same old doubt
And it just keeps on going on
Yeah it just keeps on going on
[Chorus]
You’re saying
I’m all out, and making something of nothing
But can’t you see I’m trying to fix what’s broken?
Open wide, hey are you not observing?
Why is it that we just keep reversing?
[Verse]
