[Verse 1] For every hour in the world elsewhere We talked about a future So special, I had no Doubts who you could become A confidence I'd not seen Of you, so rare, a turning of the heads
[Chorus] A turning of the heads We catch each other out With our tall tales We catch each other out
[Verse 2] The greyhounds run their fences [?] and Fitzgerald Talked in their churches Yes I believe When we escaped their earshot For I am not a brave man Confronted with a smile [?] everybody
[Chorus] Confronted with a smile We catch each other out With our tall tales We catch each other out
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3] We tied a bootlace and hung a scarf To the accommodating tree That circled the bottle Kept in the magic That tapped the ghosts of the non-believers You made a cross out of birch And enveloped in it I said a silent prayer For you to the [?] Mary Tripped plaster virgin
[Chorus] The turning of the heads We catch each other out With our tall tales We catch each other out
[Verse 4] And whilst you spoke your obscenities Thus proving her helpless state I was scared you would spit or piss In this regard But you just laughed At this strange country With its strange old gods, and ghosts and [?] And foreign drunk explorers How strange we should find peace...
[Chorus] With one another We catch each other out With our tall tales We catch each other out
