The Listening Chair Video Songtext / Lyric

Cat, blue, piano

Are just some of the things I like

So the more that I see of them in my day

The better I sleep at night



Mum, dad, Giles, (Lizzie) and Juliet (Uncle James)

Are just some of the people I love

So the more of all them I can get in my day

The better I'll sleep at night



I can moonwalk, build castles, play ping pong, talk to animals,

hold my breath for a really long time…and tell the future

Are just six of the things I can do

And the more I can fit of these things in my day

The better I sleep at night

Ahhh, the better I sleep at night






Composer or maybe an astronaut

This is what I'm gonna be when I grow up

I know cuz I sing out all through the day

I fly through space by night

The teasing, the fighting, the hospitals

I don't wanna go anymore

I put a brave face on, battle through the day

But I might cry myself to sleep



Pinch, pinch, punch, punch

Dancing round the car park after lunch

Copy cats, gold stars, cola cubes for good marks

Shy type, show off

Your mom's got her masters, so what?

Swap stickers, best friends, knight rider

Whatcha tell the time again

Popular, blonde hair, all the pretty girls sit over there

Sister's in school, he's cool, our brother knows karate



What do I do to make you hate me so much?

Is it the clothes I wear? The way I speak?

Wonder bra thrown 'round the German classroom

You wouldn't understand

I'll never live it down

Hiding in the bushes

Or tip-toeing down the corridor

Stop it, you'll make me laugh

Why would I ever need to know this?

Somehow I'll get through

I never want this to end

This night, this music, with you in my arms

Switch in to the real world

No idea what I'm doing

But here it goes (there she goes)



I've found the place, feels like home

But I caught you kissing her

So suddenly I'm on my own

There's just not enough hours in the day

Things are going great, I can't complain

When I stumble to bed, I sleep like a baby

Finding my feet

Make love, make money, make a difference

Finding my feet

Connect (connect)

Finding my feet

Make love, make money, make a difference

How d'you do that again?

Connect together



I find myself gazing out of the window for no reason

When did I stop eating bread… and cheese? I love cheese

I want to have children,

But I don't want to have children, you know?

Something nibbling, a feeling I can't quite explain (A question)

Online, offline, like I'm not really here (A choir)

Awake or sleeping, somehow can't tell the difference (A question)

Bright light outside, dark deep down within



It's a cover up, it was a cover up operation all along

Honing in, I'm honing in on the heart of it all

Toughen up, I've got to toughen up

Coz I'm breaking it all apart

What's at the heart

What's at the heart of it all?



Who am I now?

Who am I now?
