"Sensible" lyrics
Well they wake up early
Then they, then they go to bed
At 9:15 so they can focus on their breath
And their cars shine nicely in that deep mortician's black
That says, "They'll never love you back"
Oh, no, they'll never love you back
Like they love their money and their dogs and their cats
And a crisp Chianti in a lightly frosted glass
And their, and their mouths they chatter just like plastic castanets
All the people talk in metaphors and clichés like they're better for
No, never saying nothing
Until they say it all with flowers
Oh, yeah, they're ever so young
And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
They're all so sensibly numb
The bed's on fire and they go to sleep
I try to count myself, I'm running out of sheep
And it's all so, so easily done
You're all so sensible
You're all so sensible
You're all so sensibly numb
Take me to London
Take me to Task
Take me to Dalston
We'll play Fred Again... and dance
And let's fuck remotely in those self repeating flats
You know Chablis was incredible, the Chablis was incredible
Oh, we'll go to Spurstowe and we'll try the latest drugs
There's always something but there's never quite enough
If you're, if you're not down well then they're never really up
And they only speak in metaphors, they only speak in metaphors
They only speak in metaphors
Well they say it so much better when they say it all with flowers
Oh yeah, well they're ever so young
And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
They're all so sensibly numb
Well the bed's on fire and we go to sleep
I try to count myself, I'm running out of sheep
And it's all so easily done
You're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
And it's all so sensibly—
Flowers
Flowers
Flowers
Flowers
Flowers
Oh yeah, well they're ever so young
And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
They're all so sensibly numb
The cat's on fire in a crinoline dress
And the dog's on Sarafem 'cause it keeps him in his head
And we're all so, we're all so young
And we're all so sensible
And we're all so sensible
And we're all so sensibly numb
Then they, then they go to bed
At 9:15 so they can focus on their breath
And their cars shine nicely in that deep mortician's black
That says, "They'll never love you back"
Oh, no, they'll never love you back
Like they love their money and their dogs and their cats
And a crisp Chianti in a lightly frosted glass
And their, and their mouths they chatter just like plastic castanets
All the people talk in metaphors and clichés like they're better for
No, never saying nothing
Until they say it all with flowers
Oh, yeah, they're ever so young
And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
They're all so sensibly numb
The bed's on fire and they go to sleep
I try to count myself, I'm running out of sheep
And it's all so, so easily done
You're all so sensible
You're all so sensible
You're all so sensibly numb
Take me to London
Take me to Task
Take me to Dalston
We'll play Fred Again... and dance
And let's fuck remotely in those self repeating flats
You know Chablis was incredible, the Chablis was incredible
Oh, we'll go to Spurstowe and we'll try the latest drugs
There's always something but there's never quite enough
If you're, if you're not down well then they're never really up
And they only speak in metaphors, they only speak in metaphors
They only speak in metaphors
Well they say it so much better when they say it all with flowers
Oh yeah, well they're ever so young
And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
They're all so sensibly numb
Well the bed's on fire and we go to sleep
I try to count myself, I'm running out of sheep
And it's all so easily done
You're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
And it's all so sensibly—
Flowers

Oh yeah, well they're ever so young
And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible
They're all so sensibly numb
The cat's on fire in a crinoline dress
And the dog's on Sarafem 'cause it keeps him in his head
And we're all so, we're all so young
And we're all so sensible
And we're all so sensible
And we're all so sensibly numb
