Number One - Slow Club

I looked up and all I could see was mist
Who needs course
When you're perfectly a drift
I've got a friend who knows just how it is
We walked awhile and watched the sun arrive
Drinking and planning
Hey you know where time

You wanna sing I'm here just like tonight
Golden storm  put that hurricane away
I wasn't flattered when you named it after me
I wanna lay down almost constantly
Cause I know

Just how to look the other way

It was so much easier yesterday

When the door was open and
We're just running forward

Come on let's close it

And I'll call you number one

Number one

Number one

You read in books about
How it all should work
Written by men who've never seen the world
Or a garden coming to colour and that
Northwest town
Where the streets are overrun
Punk Rock kids do
What they've always done
Time can stop  I was the lucky one

Blue blood runs out into the street
T V shows rewarding treachery
I'm watching now and
I will be the same time next week

Just learn how to look away

I wanna understand yesterday
When the door was open and
We're just running forward
Come on let's close it
And I'll call you number one

Number one

Number one

Number one
Don't let him run a race

Come out of your hiding place

Ooh

I look into your eyes
But don't know how they work
Desire is power and trust is just a word
Remember when we met
I was young and you were hurt
Maybe we should
Talk about what's at stake
You don't have to
Feel like shit and say it's O K
Or pretend to be asleep

While you're dreaming of being awake
