Number One

Number One - Slow Club

I looked up and all I could see was mist

Who needs course

When you're perfectly a drift

I've got a friend who knows just how it is

We walked awhile and watched the sun arrive

Drinking and planning

Hey you know where time

You wanna sing I'm here just like tonight

Golden storm put that hurricane away

I wasn't flattered when you named it after me

I wanna lay down almost constantly

Cause I know

Just how to look the other way

It was so much easier yesterday

When the door was open and

We're just running forward

Come on let's close it

And I'll call you number one

Number one

Number one

You read in books about

How it all should work

Written by men who've never seen the world

Or a garden coming to colour and that

Northwest town

Where the streets are overrun

Punk Rock kids do

What they've always done

Time can stop I was the lucky one

Blue blood runs out into the street

T V shows rewarding treachery

I'm watching now and

I will be the same time next week

Just learn how to look away

I wanna understand yesterday

When the door was open and

We're just running forward

Come on let's close it

And I'll call you number one

Number one

Number one

Number one

Don't let him run a race

Come out of your hiding place

Ooh

I look into your eyes

But don't know how they work

Desire is power and trust is just a word

Remember when we met

I was young and you were hurt

Maybe we should

Talk about what's at stake

You don't have to

Feel like **** and say it's O K

Or pretend to be asleep

While you're dreaming of being awake
