Peace and Quiet

[00:10.60] Hey there tragic one
[00:14.99] I saw your ghost in Kensington
[00:20.26] The sly sentry of the alleyway
[00:25.98] The wounded soldier from the bad old days
[00:33.37] And it took me somewhere
[00:37.52] I haven't been for years and years
[00:43.12] Old appetites like souvenirs
[00:48.87] I turned around, you disappeared
[00:54.86] Into a street steeped in silence
[01:07.14] A sweet peace and quiet
[01:18.46] The lights never go down
[01:22.41] A thousand shooting stars in Chinatown
[01:28.06] Reflected in your eyes electric-blue
[01:33.68] A kiss lingers like a deja-vu
[01:40.76] But all the lovers crash
[01:44.95] And echo under the overpass
[01:50.53] They lie pinned beneath their memories
[01:56.24] A million colliding destinies
[02:02.70] Stain the street, pierce the silence
[02:14.98] The sweet peace and quiet
[02:25.11]
[02:27.64] We cursed a dishrag sky
[02:33.29] We vowed to change the weather
[02:38.93] You donned your widest eyes
[02:44.58] I said never say never
[02:50.41] And even though we lied
[02:55.86] We swore we'd stay this way forever
[03:03.89]
[03:33.95] Is it funny how
[03:38.16] You seem just like a rumour now?
[03:42.22] A conversation that I overheard
[03:46.85] The frail echo of a foreign word
[03:56.53] Is it funny or sad?
[04:00.62] Sometimes we just walk away
[04:06.44] No bittersweet remembrance day
[04:12.00] Why do you think that we do that?
[04:18.30] To defeat peace and quiet?
[04:30.41] To cheat peace and quiet?
[04:41.72] The sweet (you don your widest eyes)
[04:46.64] Peace and quiet (I'll say never say never)
[04:53.09] The sweet (you don your widest eyes)
[04:57.98] Peace and quiet (this time we'll change the weather)
[05:12.10]
[05:17.07] This time we'll get it right
[05:21.24]
