Any Day Now (Live) Lyrics

Any day now

The world will roll out, fold in and over

The iron-sided edifice crumble

The tower tumble

The engine cut

And we can be children again

Any day now

War will die a graceful death out at sea

Meat-wagons burst into flames

Private schools turn to social housing

And we can be children again

While recognising of course that not everybody's childhood was peachy

But still…

The feeling of being able to paint a picture and just

Keep still

And Lucifer's still outside in the garden

Trying to shout down the morning

But the truth is

None of us here could care

And the walker's still up there on the hill

Just trying to shout down the morning

But the truth is

None of us down here could really care

Cos any day now

London will lighten the fuck up

Put the hammer down

Unclench for a minute

And return the smile

And we can be

Children again

Yeah

Any day now

All of us will cut free

Running down Worm Lane

Like God's own spies

Back to the first place

to the day you learned to whistle

Any day now

She will come round the cliffside

Very small to the space in your arms

And it won't seem dangerous

And she will say

'It's alright

We can be children again'

And she will put her arms around you very slow

And make it simple

And Nick will bop down the cliff path lean

And Rob will walk out of the sea with a grin

And the four of you will stand

And watch the waves roll in.
