Words and music by Roddy Frame



Chevrolet over Pontchartrain

Blue and grey driving rain became a part of me

Search and play once again

Naive melody touched the heart of me

Brave words in bold relief

No time to get old, no belief



Bigger, brighter is how the world looked to me

But filled with my face staring straight back through me

Bigger, brighter, better and I was sold forever

Down no great river just an endless sea



A love supreme, one hell of a team

No messy birth or dirty death just the in between

Holding tight to what we thought was right

But begin to squeeze and love leaves

Boy, where you been



Yeah, I was young chewing gum acting like a dumb-dumb

All at sea woe is me let's get numb

Fast times, high hopes

Too whacked to push back the envelope



Bigger, brighter is how the world looked to me

But filled with your face staring straight back through me

Bigger, brighter, better and I was sold forever

Down no great river just an endless sea



You and I sail on stormy waters unaware of what we've got

Some say, "Let it go, ride the tide feel the flow"

I sense bombs below

Can't wait to detonate them

You and I like a minesweeper



Lover, it's over and we can live more truly

See bridges burning over salted water

Lover, leave me and bring the world back to me

Bigger, brighter, better for your own sweet self
