Canterbury - Peace & Quiet lyrics

Fire all you like, have you seen my defences?
My sleep is short, but my dreams are extensive
I'm on a line between smiles and sleep/steep frowns
Put me in the light and we'll freeze up this melt down

I've been walking on the tips of my legs
But it won't be staying like that for long
We'll be stamping over boundaries in no time,
A silence would indicate that something is wrong

We're driven up the walls by peace and quiet
We're into changing those who read 'old classics'
We're up for striking while the iron's heated
And we've got nothing to lose, so we'll climb and we'll rise

You should be still, it's just mouths that are moving,
Not for the talk, for the smiling and breathing
Find direction, find less excuses, lose connection, find a solution
My rule of thumb: Not to read well-thumbed pages

We're driven up the walls by peace and quiet
We're into changing those who read 'old classics'
We're up for striking while the iron's heated
And we've got nothing to lose, so we'll climb and we'll rise

I've been walking on the tips of my legs
But it won't be staying like that for long
We'll be stamping over boundaries in no time,
A silence would indicate that something is wrong

We're driven up the walls by peace and quiet
We're into changing those who read 'old classics'
We're up for striking while the iron's heated
And we've got nothing to lose, so we'll climb and we'll rise
