November
I dreamed that I was waiting for a bus in North-East London late last night It was November and I had so far to go I was awoken by the aircraft and this melancholic weather And your distant, cracking voice telling me to let this whole thing go
I hear the beating, pounding rhythms of the wristwatch that I wear I've not out-grown adolescence, nor escaped my first grey hair She knows this band that just got signed and tour all the time I asked her how she thinks I'm doing and she said at best just fine
But you'll never change the world, with your songs or your guitar There are people half your age, and they're going twice as far Everybody wants me but I'm tied right down to you When you finally go under, you know that I'll drown too
Mid-November moon has been hoisted in the sky It's smiling at me crooked as the world goes drifting by As the glowing, burning leaves dance to the tune the traffic plays The wind it murmurs rhythms of what she always says

I'm afraid. I'm afraid. I'm afraid. (x2)
And I went down to the club and the 'buzz-band' were a bore They were card-board cut-out mannequins, singing what I've heard before It was all so self-aware and all so very now But the crowd they were ecstatic, then they all turned around and screamed
That you'll never change the world, with your songs or your guitar There are people half your age, and look they're growing twice as far Everybody wants her but she's tied right down to you When you finally go under, you know that she'll drown too
I'm afraid. I'm afraid. I'm afraid. (x2)
