Elbow lyrics : "Switching Off"

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
