The Sergeant Says Lyrics

Spirogyra The Sergeant Says

The sergeant says
You’ve got to turn down the lights
It’s the things you keep concealed
That makes you safe in the night
Not the stars

The sergeant says
That if there’s room at the top
He’ll be sure to let you through
To give the things that you’ve got
If you fit

We’ve been living on air, oh yeah
We’ve been living on air, oh yeah

The sergeant says
That if you’re nearing the phone
Will you kindly check transmission
As the meters have gone
Out of phase

And I suggest
That if you’re thinking of her
That the best thing you can do
Is to forget she exists
And get on

You’ve been living on air, oh yeah
You’ve been living on air, oh yeah

And she lives in a block of flats
She’s always on her own
I’ve tried to get in touch with her
But she’s not on the phone
And every avenue you lead
It’s never where you are
The stars that blow into the night
Are never very far

And so I play the game
Of the gone insane
And the never, never, never can tells
And I try my best
To get on through the test
Of the never, never, never can tells

I’m becoming aware, oh yeah
I’m becoming aware, oh yeah

So this may well be the last song I write
Cause I can’t touch the truth
When the words don’t seem right
Well, who cares?
I’ll leave you now with a silent salute
To the man dressed in armour
Who has stolen your youth and your charm

We’ve been living on air, oh yeah
We’ve been living on air, oh yeah

But one day I will find a way
To save her from her plight
It may well take a million years
But she will see the light

Because I’ve had enough of the hoochy coo
And the never, never, never can tells
And I’m going back to the human zoo
To see if animals are relatives of mine
To see if animals are relatives of mine
To see if animals are relatives, if animals are
relatives
If animals are relatives of mine
Of mine mine mine mine mine
