Elbow - Switching Off

Switching Off
Elbow

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Is a part replayed from a perfect day

Is this making sense?
Love's first blush
What am I trying to say?
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
Early evening June
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you

All the clocks give in
And the insects like a neon choir
And the traffic fades
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
The instant fizz
In time
With you

You, the only sense the world has ever made
This room and radio play
Early evening June
I choose my final scene today
This I need to save
Switching off

Ran to ground for a while there
But I came off pretty well

This I need to save
You, the only sense the world has ever made
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
