Starlings

Remember when we walked down the boulevards
Chased each other round, cross the promenades
I’d give my life to live it all again
We said we’d rule the world, we set out our stall
I remember well, a total recall
I’d trade my life to live it all again

Somebody said that you’d be watching over me
Something so magical the naked eye can’t see
They always said that we would make such darlings
That we would light the sky and fly like starlings
Starlings, starlings, starlings

Remember when we kissed outside the picturedrome
And the times we missed the last bus home
I’d give my life to live it all again

Somebody said that you’d be watching over me
Something so magical the naked eye can’t see
They always said that we would make such darlings
That we would light the sky and fly like starlings
Starlings, starlings, starlings

We never meant to start free falling, we should be set free
We never meant to start free falling, it’s plain and clear to see

Somebody said that you’d be watching over me
Something so magical the naked eye can’t see
They always said that we would make such darlings
That we would light the sky and fly like starlings
Somebody said that you’d be waiting there for me
For you to take off would be daylight robbery
They always said that we’d become real darlings
That we would scorch the earth and fly like starlings
Starlings, starlings, starlings, starlings
