SOPHIA - 'TECHNOLOGY WON'T SAVE US' LYRICS

1. Technology Won't Save Us
instrumental


2. Pace
We sleep all day
And wonder where our lives have gone
Sneak into the night
And hope the lack of light will hide our flaws

Well we can bitch and we can moan
And we can curse the days we're born

Or we can scream and we can shout
And cast away the fear and doubt
That turns everything
Sour

But we can't change the pace the world spins around us
We can't change the pace the world spins around us

We break our backs and made to smile
Force-fed shit all hype and style
And like lonely bus stop women said
'Without poetry it's like we're dead'

Well we can bitch and we can moan
And all get sick with stress and existential dread
Or we can scream and we can shout
And cast the fear and doubt
That turns everything
Sour

But we can't change the pace the world spins around us
We can't change the pace the world spins around us


3. Where Are You Now
It's 5 a.m.
And I stumble down Oxford Street
The whiskey and gin
They ain't helping things
If I could speak
I'd call out your name
And if I could walk
I'd run back to you again

But where are you now
Oh where are you now

Well I've loved and left
And I've kissed and fled
I've left my heart where I should have stayed instead
And you think that I've forgotten
But you will always be near
In every face that I see
And every voice that I hear

Oh where are you now
Oh where are you now

And I heard that you found Jesus
And he helped erase your life
Well I'm glad you found the solace
That I could never provide
And what about the candles that kept the church alight
And what about the prayers you said
Would keep me warm at night

Oh where are you now
Oh where are you now


4. Big City Rot
I just realised I can't afford to live in this city
But who cares, no one ever smiles and the weather's shitty
Well why don't I leave you say
But where would I go
At least with Hope in my life
I feel like I've got a home

And they say it's the stress of never
Being on top
Just got to stay positive
And beat the big city rot

Well I'm tired of trying
I'm ready to stop
I'm tired of waiting
For the pressure to drop

I'm tired of trying
I'm ready to stop
I'm tired of fighting
The Big City Rot…


5. Twilight At The Hotel Moscow

instrumental


6. Birds
Farmer John said 'It's looks like rain.
We won't let the clear skies fool us again'
Batten down the cellar doors and board up your homes
Listen to the wind as she creaks and she moans
Isn't it beautiful
Our lack of control
No prayers unanswered
Or wishes ignored
Come on hurry up now
We're a day late for Spring
If we sneak in through April
We won't miss a thing

Isn't it beautiful
Our lack of control
No prayers unanswered or wishes ignored

Come on hurry up now
We're a day late for Spring
We can sneak in through April
We won't miss a thing


7. Lost (She Believed In Angels)
I had to watch as your words
Filled my sons with fear and shame
Chased by visions of Jesus
And in my dreams consumed by flames
But I still believe in angels
Even as they watch me whither away
Please just give me one last breath
Before I pass from this place

One last breath for the wicked
One last breath for the sin
One last breath for the lost, the nameless
And those that I've forgotten

And one last breath to ease the darkness
In those I love when I'm gone
One last breath to say goodbye
Please don't mind me as I linger on
Don't mind me as I linger on.

And I still believe in angels
And footsteps in the snow
And I still believe in the goodness of Man
Despite the evil in my world
And I still believe in love
Though I'm happy to be free of the pain
But please just give me one last breath
Before I pass from this place

(Chorus)

One last breath for the beauty
For the sunset
And the sorrow
One last breath for our children
We leave burdened with our tomorrows

(Chorus)


8. Weightless
Give me black
Or give me white
Give me wrong
Or give me right
Sweep away the in-between
And help me make my choices easy

Give me love
Or give me hate
Give me anything that's not just ok
Make me laugh
Or make me cry
Something
Anything
To feel alive

Is this week's obsession just a reason to exist?
Do I really need the conflict or just something to resist?


9. P.1/P.2 (Cherry Trees And Debt Collectors)
Cherry Trees
Shit-kickers
Falling leaves and road-kill
Debt Collector
Corner Store
Sweet Louise
The Pepper Girl
All the beauty
Of Spring
In the city
Let me
Take you into my arms

You said there's something broken
Something twisted
Something just ain't right
Well what the fuck you think I've been saying since our first kiss that night

Tell me
Is it woman's logic that it's not a lie if it's left unsaid
But don't you know babe
There's more to love than just giving good head

I wanted to believe you
I thought I'd turned around
I wanted to believe in you
I'm sorry that I let us down

Dress yourself in lingerie
And steal the name of saints
You thought that we were perfect
But forgot the lies deceit and pain

And yeah I guess we're all fucked up on our paths of least resistance
But please don't say it's just an excuse to hide my fear of commitment

I wanted to believe you
I thought I'd turned around
I wanted to believe in you
I'm sorry that I let us down
