Store Room - text
It's not the wind that keeps you up
It's not the snow, it's not the moon coming like
a headlight through your window
it's not the thumbnail on the screen
that scrapes away your dream
It's not the snow, it's not the moon coming like
a headlight through your window
it's not the thumbnail on the screen
that scrapes away your dream
It's just this man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
It's not the news of burning towns
that ruins your mind like a spool
you turn and you turn but it won't unwind
No, these wars you did not start they don't tear your sleep apart
that ruins your mind like a spool
you turn and you turn but it won't unwind
No, these wars you did not start they don't tear your sleep apart
It's just the man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
And now this woman by your side well,
she's asleep and there's nothing
you can give her and there's nothing
you want to keep you don't even try
to prove that the noise is
neighbours making love
she's asleep and there's nothing
you can give her and there's nothing
you want to keep you don't even try
to prove that the noise is
neighbours making love
It's just the man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
Well, go to sleep and change the locks
when you wake up, share your toast maybe,
spill some coffee from your cup oh,
there's nothing left to chose
and there's so much more to lose
when you wake up, share your toast maybe,
spill some coffee from your cup oh,
there's nothing left to chose
and there's so much more to lose
There's this man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
It's not the wind that keeps you up
It's not the snow, it's not the moon coming
like a headlight through your window
it's not the thumbnail of the scream
that scrapes away your dream
It's not the snow, it's not the moon coming
like a headlight through your window
it's not the thumbnail of the scream
that scrapes away your dream
It's just the man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
It's not the news of burning towns
that ruins your mind like a spool
you turn and turn that won't unwind
No, these wars you did not start
they don't tear your sleep apart
that ruins your mind like a spool
you turn and turn that won't unwind
No, these wars you did not start
they don't tear your sleep apart
It's just the man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
And now the woman by your side well,
she's awake but there's nothing
you can give her there's nothing
you want to take you don't even try
to prove that the noise is
neighbours making love
she's awake but there's nothing
you can give her there's nothing
you want to take you don't even try
to prove that the noise is
neighbours making love
It's just the man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
Oh, go to sleep, and change the locks
when you wake up, share your toast
maybe spill a little coffee from your cup
he's got nothing left to chose
and you got so much more to lose
when you wake up, share your toast
maybe spill a little coffee from your cup
he's got nothing left to chose
and you got so much more to lose
There's just the man taking
what he needs from the store room
what he needs from the store room
It's not the wind ....
