lyrics

My alarm is set for 7:05
In the morning of tomorrow’s bedside
And even though today’s your day
It’s not the day to call you
‘Cause you’re fourteen hours behind
And that’s just negative time
So I’ll keep on handing
little bits to you
And navigate the world in zeros
And ones that come in liquid form
To help the mixture bond well
For the boat made in my room
I think I’ll send it soon
So I sang the song sent ‘cross the sea
Unknown question mark times three
Ridiculous to think that I
could act upon these words
I assume that you agree
So I guess I’ll wait and see
I’m the only boy you know
who writes in English
I see your page, I don’t know what your friends have got to say
Is it true that I’m the only one
with a letter in my native tongue?
Is it snowing there today?
Are there drops of frozen rain?
Is it falling on your face?
You’re a bloody long way away
For you, I will send some songs back
For you, I will send some songs
To the land of Q
There’s a long line joining you and me
From the left side of the Tasman Sea
To the land of Q, I think that you
should probably come to see me
And I’ll show you things for free
And I’ll give you my spare key
But you and me we hardly speak
But we always talk electronically
And your wacky English makes me grin
But it’s better than my French
I assume that you agree
But it holds your charm for me
I’m the only boy you know
who writes in English
I see your page but I don’t know
what your friends have got to say
Is it true that I’m the only one
with a letter in my native tongue?
Is it snowing there today?
Are there drops of frozen rain?
Is it falling on your face?
You’re a bloody long way away
And I know it might seem strange
It was only just three days
But I’m falling on my face
You’re a bloody long way away
For you, I will send some songs back
For you, I will send some songs
To the land of Q
And eighteen months is a crazy thing
And three days should be just a fling
But stupid as it seems
You just keep popping up around me
Your electric golden skin
And your bellybutton ring
Your electric golden skin
And your bellybutton ring
