Take This As Read Songtext
There's no light or sound in this hall
And the fire lets off no heat at all
You've been telling me
Well shake things apart
I say there's no good in that

So take this as read
You're all that I've got
We may as well stay
It's a long way back
So take this as read

No cause for panic
You don't shout out loud
Your take's so different
From the maddening crowd

Well junk and washing lay all round the room
We'll clean it up later
But for now we ain't moving

So take this as read
You're all that I've got
We may as well stay
It's a long way back
So take this as read

With a skip in our step
And some faith in these times
We can keep them at bay
It we all put our minds to it
We can do anything
Do anything we please
In this wonderful land of ours
This beautiful land of Oz

Well there's no light or sound in this hall
The fire lets off no heat at all
You keep telling me to shake things apart
Well I say there's no good in that
Take this as read

So take this as read
You're all that I've got
We may as well stay
It's a long way back
So take this as read, so take this as read
So take this as read, we're going nowhere
We're going nowhere
