"Stop The Clocks" lyrics

"Stop The Clocks"

Stop the clocks
Stop the clocks, I'm killing time
I don't ever want this to end
And you say "that makes two of us"

There's a cinema in me
It plays counterfeit scenes
All my worries and blunders
And you say "that makes two of us"

Where's this present you speak of?
Where's this heavenly bliss?
I'm so sick of time travel
And you say "that makes two of us"

And all your life, you just exist
And all your life, it's moments missed
And all the time, you wait in line
What you'll find

Well that makes two of us

Stop the clocks
Stop the clocks, I'm killing time
I don't ever want this to end
And you say "that makes two of us"

Stop the clocks
Stop the clocks, I'm killing time
I don't ever want this to end
And you say "that makes two of us"

Drifting, my life is on hold now
Give me coordinates please
I look for a safe harbour
And you say "that makes two of us"

There's a cinema in me
It plays counterfeit scenes
All my worries and blunders
And you say "that makes two of us"

And all your life, you just exist
And all your life, it's moments missed
And all the time, you wait in line
What you'll find

Well that makes two of us

Stop the clocks
Stop the clocks, I'm killing time
I don't ever want this to end
And you say "that makes two of us"

Stop the clocks
Stop the clocks, I'm killing time
I don't ever want this to end
And you say "that makes two of us"

Stop the clocks
Stop the clocks, I'm killing time
I don't ever want this to end
And you say "that makes two of us"

'Stop The Clocks' was premiered on the Annie Mac show as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record on the 12th of August 2019.
This song is the sequel to their 'No Sleep Tonight'. Frontman Rou Reynolds posted the following message on Twitter on the 12th of August 2019, "STC's bridge is the same chord sequence as NST's chorus. And a load of you have already remember me singing STC's bridge melody in live versions of NST from 4/5 years ago."
Enter Shikari performed this song live during their tour 'Stop The Clocks' which started in 2018. Rou Reynolds told about it, "Anyone who has seen us live recently will have heard Stop The Clocks – it's an upbeat post-punk pop track about the joys of human connection. When someone is open and honest about their vulnerabilities, others can connect with them, and then all of us can feel stronger and more comfortable."
