Electric Lines Lyrics

Electric Lines - Joe Goddard

Everyone's updating their hardware

Plugging in their new gear

Upgrading to all new components

Replacing the things from last year

Every time I hear something special

Its replacement is something I fear

It's only a working in progress

Only a stopgap idea

The tools that we used to create them

They're no longer welcome 'round here

Everyone's re-routing their cables

Creating paths that are crystal clear

While I like the sound of you dreaming

I like how it sounds in my ear

And I like the sound of adventure

The wind chimes in the air

In this world you've created

There are sounds I'll always hold dear

I'd like things to be permanent

But that's not always possible I fear

Bring me something back when you go

Bring me something back when you go

Bring me something back I don't know

Bring me something back when you go

Everyone's deleting their plugins

Their path must remain crystal clear

Everyone's sick of their soft synths

Like they're sick of cold market beer

I don't know a real ale from a fake one

I don't know which is more sincere

The music we're making

Or the music we hear

Make your own kind of problems

Make something out of your fears

Make your own music

Let it bring you to tears

Bring me something back when you go

Will you ride with me for one last time

Bring me something back when you go

I'll be on electric lines

Bring me something back I don't know

I can hear the signal passing through

Bring me something back when you go

They know what we plan to do
