lyrics

"Work really hard, and do really well",
That's just what you said we'd do,
But my every third thought diverts me to you,
Some kind of membrane collapsed in me, This much i can tell.

When I thought to write,
You were still on my pillow,
You were still in my room. Though you left me in a freak arctic winter,
May you always leave too soon.
Airport Belle,
Thrill me,
With your constant holiday again.
I thought we might be blessed by restlessness,
But now I just want you to stay.

Moderately, melodiously,
The over-engine economy harmony.
The distant drones of fully loaded jets.
In this arrivals lounge, I'm not even waiting for you.

Am I to be some kind of antique TV breed?
Constantly hoping for an American summer?
As if my ringing ears haven't raised me,
To want it, to steal away,
To be born all over again,
And again, and again, and again and again and again.

Airport Belle,
Thrill me,
With your constant holiday again.
I thought we might be blessed by restlessness,
But now I just want you to stay.

I'm calling again.
I see you on a screen,
That stammers and suddenly stops moving,
When the money runs out.

My sugar-high stomach,
Tight as clean sheets,
That are too hot, or more often too cold,
And blue, blue without you.

A little too late to belong to the 'tube',
But i'm still searching, searching for you.
And what do I find but another young mans channel,
Australian heartbreak that looks like the midlands to me,

I'm just waiting,

For your peace,
For another city,
For a meeting beneath the smokeless chimney of a super gallery,
And maybe a kiss from you in public.
