Tiny Matters (Something New)

from All The Cigarettes I Have Smoked by Electric Jug

	/

lyrics

The world just ‘bout broken
Burnt out and spent
Something deep within you woken but you’re still busy making rent
A vision of something better
But do the old rules still apply?
Well, if you don't send out that letter you won't get no reply
I know the daily grind it’s so unkind
It really gets you in its teeth
So what the hell you might as well
Just instigate the tiny matter of belief

Just come on down, let’s go to town for something new

The future, it’s a gamble
Everybody placing bets
Everywhere I look’s a scandal like the price of cigarettes
And all the creatures of injustice
They roam everywhere unchecked
Well when we sit here and do nothing what the hell do we expect?
They're gonna kill them all your children
They’re gonna choke up all the earth
But if we fight them then we might just
Instigate the tiny matter of re-birth

I tell you what, just grab a lot of something new

You block the sky behind your curtain
Cos your lover made you cry
I know how you're hurting but now someone else has caught your eye
They say once bitten
Can we put it off for another day?
Hey, can you show me where it’s written you've got to hide yourself away
I know the pain, I know the shame
I know your broken-hearted dreams
They make you mad and make you sad
But they contain the tiny matter to redeem

Just take a chance and learn to dance with someone new

So what are you clinging to?
You got nothing left to lose
After witnessing the demise of our blue suede shoes
Hey what do you want me to stop for?
Is my change offending you?
You think I deserve to be preserved in your old point of view
There ain’t no help coming from nowhere
Especially not from above
But with some sharing and a fair wind
We just might instigate the tiny matter of love

When it’s said and done, we’re getting some of something new
