"Headlock" lyrics - LENNON & MAISY

Distant flickering,
It's greener scenery,
This weather's bringing it all back again.
Great adventures,
Faces in condensation,
I'm going outside to take it all in.

You say "too late to start got your heart in a headlock",
I don't believe any of it.
You say "too late to start with your heart in a headlock",
You know you're better than this.

Wear a different pair,
Just something out of step,
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile.
With big intention,
Still posted at your station,
Always on about the day it should have flied.

You say "too late to start got your heart in a headlock",
I don't believe any of it.
You say "too late to start with your heart in a headlock",
You know you're better than this.
(how can you lose?) Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it.
You say "too late to start with your heart in a headlock",
You know you're better than this.

You've been walking,
You've been hiding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You've still got it I'm just keeping an eye. [2x]

You know you're better than this

Can't make a start, got your heart in a headlock,
but I don't believe any of it.
You say "too late to start, with your heart in a headlock",
You know you're better than this.

(how can you lose?) Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say "too late to start, with your heart in a headlock",
You know you're better than this.
