Plus & Minus

Lyrics by：David Gray

Produced by：David Gray/Ben De Vries

You know the way desire is

Always wanting something that it just can't have

Turning love's picture to the wall

Next moment there's no turning back

The following report may contain scenes

That some might find upsetting

Look at me read what's written here

This whole routine is getting old

Is getting old

You know the way the light is

Always painting someone else's windows gold

Fate sends a bottle spinning round

Eyes steal a glance that stops you cold

Remind me why we're doing this

You know it's silly but I keep forgetting

Darling from where I'm sitting hey

This whole routine is getting old

It's getting old

So for the fire that gets lit

And for the flame that regrets it

As you were then plus and minus

Sailing by like ocean liners

Do you hear me boy

It's getting old

Stare into the dim and distant

Where it used to be so different

Do you feel me boy

It's getting old

You can give a man everything he wants

Sit back and watch him

Disappear it boy

Now you know the way that time is

Stretching out then like a circle turning round

Suddenly that circle is a sun

That's blushing red and sinking down

The following report may contain scenes

That some might find upsetting

Look at me read what's written here

This whole routine is getting

And for the fire that gets lit

And for the flame that regrets it

Yeah

It's getting old it's getting old

Do you hear me boy

It's getting old

It's getting old

Yeah it's getting old

It's getting old

You can give a man everything he wants

Sit back and watch him

Well it's getting old it's getting old

You can give a man everything he wants

Sit back and watch him

Disappear it boy

You know this whole routine is getting old

It's getting old

Getting old
