Headlock Lyrics
[00:16.44] Distant flickerings, greener scenery
[00:20.50] This weather's bringing it all back again
[00:24.38] Great adventures, faces and condensation
[00:28.64] I'm going outside to take it all in
[00:32.39] You say too late to start
[00:34.34] Got your heart in a headlock
[00:38.09] I don't believe any of it
[00:40.21] You say too late to start
[00:42.36] With your heart in a headlock
[00:45.75] You know you're better than this
[00:49.95]
[00:56.26] Wear a different pair, do something out of step
[01:00.32] Throw a stranger an unexpected smile
[01:04.25] With big intention, still posted at your station
[01:08.53] Always on about the day it should have flown
[01:12.43] You say too late to start
[01:14.45] Got your heart in a headlock
[01:18.10] I don't believe any of it
[01:20.30] You say too late to start
[01:22.41] With your heart in a headlock
[01:26.02] You know you're better than this
[01:28.73] Afraid to start
[01:30.39] Got your heart in a headlock
[01:34.08] I don't believe any of it
[01:36.27] You say too late to start
[01:38.35] With your heart in a headlock
[01:42.00] You know you're better than this
[01:44.43] You're walking, you've been hiding
[01:48.74] And you look half dead half the time
[01:52.36] Monitoring you like machines do
[01:56.29] You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye
[02:00.48] You've been walking, you've been hiding (so what?)
[02:04.30] And you look half dead half the time (don't care)
[02:08.29] Monitoring you, like machines do (will not)
[02:12.46] You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye (the end)
[02:17.60]
[02:33.94] You know you're better than this
[02:36.89] Can't make a start
[02:38.59] Got your heart in a headlock
[02:41.63] No, I don't believe any of it
[02:44.20] You say too late to start
[02:46.46] With your heart in a headlock
[02:49.99] You know you're better than this
[02:52.67] Afraid to start
[02:54.49] Got your heart in a headlock
[02:57.84] I don't believe any of it
