Bidston Hill Lyrics

I hold my breath as the horizon sings our sleepy town awake again

I'm on a hill

Up so, so high

The boldest prayers of every dreamer there are whispered to a listening

That starts to feel like me

It's me, I know it

The hill becomes my feet

It's me, I know it is

And the skyline greets the sea

And then its features fall over everything

And then I breathe again

Dirty face

We bathed in our youth

You said stats and facts and figures

Never stain like the truth

So what are you so scared of

Don't hand it over to me, graciously

I wouldn't have a clue

Just show me what to do

Or better, tear that fickle membrane

That surrounds my friends and family

And consumes the things I love

Tells me it's not good enough

If I could speak to you today

I'd tell you everything

Dirty face

We bathed in our youth

You said stats and facts and figures

Never stain like the truth

So what are you so scared of

Dirty face

We bathed in our youth

You said stats and facts and figures

Never stain like the truth

So what are you so scared of

Dirty face

We bathed in our youth

You said stats and facts and figures

Never stain like the truth

So what are you so scared of
