Switching Off Lyrics by Elbow

Switching Off Lyrics

    Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
    And a final scene unfolds inside
    Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
    Is a part replayed from a perfect day
    Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
    Love's first blush

    Chorus
    Is this making sense?
    What am I trying to say?
    Early evening June
    This room and a radio play
    This I need to save
    I choose my final thoughts today
    Switching off with you

    All the clocks give in
    And the traffic fades
    And the insects like a neon choir
    The instant fizz
    Connection made
    And the curtains sigh
    In time
    With you

    Chorus 2
    You, the only sense the world has ever made
    Early evening June
    This room and radio play
    This I need to save
    I choose my final scene today
    Switching off

    Ran to ground for a while there
    But I came off pretty well

    Chorus 3
    You, the only sense the world has ever made
    This I need to save
    A simple trinket locked away
    I choose my final scene today
    Switching off with you
