when the world would actually listen - paul heaton + jacqui abbott lyrics
[verse 1]
there’s an own goal from the halfway line iin all of us
a simple dolly catch dropped at mid*on
and whenever expectation gets the best of us
you land centimetre wide from hole in one
[pre*chorus 1]
there’s a confidence that’s dropped and smashed like pottery
like a simple cross the goalie failed to hold
you can win and you can lose like national lottery
as the keeper picks the ball out of the goal
[chorus]
there was a day oncе when the sun, it shone so brightly
and a day thеre seemed a glimmer of real hope
when the compliments came daily, also nightly
when the world would actually listen when you spoke
[verse 2]
shoplifter moves slowly behind partition
full moon moves quite shyly behind the cloud
and the spotlight they’ve attracted has them wishing
they could slip back un0bserved into the crowd
[pre*chorus 2]
there’s a thick black cloud not far from every one of us
you can either ride or even hide behind
and occasionally that gloom will get on top of us
with a biting wind that just serves to remind
[chorus]
there was a day once when the sun, it shone so brightly
and a day there seemed a glimmer of real hope
when the compliments came daily, also nightly
when the world would actually listen when you spoke
[bridge]
there’s a bar fire and a cold bath waiting patiently
there’s a cliff edge with a light breeze at the top
and the vultures and the pirates of uncertainty
are waiting for your confidence to drop
[chorus]
there was a day once when the sun, it shone so brightly
and a day there seemed a glimmer of real hope
when the compliments came daily, also nightly
when the world would actually listen when you spoke
