Knock Down Ginger - Eugene McGuinness

You haven’t seen the real life

Until all your dreams have been realised

I come from somewhere

I’m going somewhere else

And if the landlord wants me out

Well I’d appreciate the help

You’ll never feel the flutter

Singing to a silhouette

Only to realise it’s her butler’s

She came from somewhere

She’s going nowhere else

The camera doesn’t lie

Conversation will run dry as hell

And at long last I am reborn

Suburbia burns to triumphant horns

I dropped my money down the well

A splash crashed over the cathedral bells

But I never broke the bank

The bank broke me

You haven’t seen the real life

Until all your dreams have been vaporised

Walk across the puddle

Until the tabloids call you Christ

You come from somewhere

You can’t help that

But you can go anywhere you like

And once again we are reborn

The party’s paper chains are torn

I put my finger in the dam

And my heart into her hands

She rang my doorbell twice and then she split

She comes from a broken home

Yeah, she broke it!
