Dizraeli - Any Day Now (Live)

Any day now
The world will roll out, fold in and over
The iron-sided edifice crumble
The tower tumble
The engine cut
And we can be children again
Any day now
War will die a graceful death out at sea
Meat-wagons burst into flames
Private schools turn to social housing
And we can be children again

While recognising of course that not everybody's childhood was peachy
But still...
The feeling of being able to paint a picture and just
Keep still

And Lucifer's still outside in the garden
Trying to shout down the morning
But the truth is
None of us here could care
And the walker's still up there on the hill
Just trying to shout down the morning
But the truth is
None of us down here could really care

Cos any day now
London will lighten the fuck up
Put the hammer down
Unclench for a minute
And return the smile
And we can be
Children again

Yeah
Any day now
All of us will cut free
Running down Worm Lane
Like God's own spies
Back to the first place
to the day you learned to whistle

Any day now
She will come round the cliffside
Very small to the space in your arms
And it won't seem dangerous
And she will say
'It's alright
We can be children again'

And she will put her arms around you very slow
And make it simple
And Nick will bop down the cliff path lean
And Rob will walk out of the sea with a grin
And the four of you will stand
And watch the waves roll in.
