Phenomena Lyrics by Gordi
My knees hugged the steering wheel
As I ripped down Cleveland Street
‘Cause I was always rushing around in record time
From point A to somewhere off the train line
With breakfast on my knees
Dreaming of faster ways to make money
Then one night a strange reflection
A voice with acres of presence
Saw all my imperfections
Arms outstretched, unflinching
You were some phenomena
You made me wanna
Stop running so fast
And savour the last moments of the morning
As you’d sit there just talking
The years
They accelerate
And the creatures stalk and prowl
And all the things we swear to ourselves we’ll never do
Or take for granted
Or waste time so hung up on
Well our number’s on the bingo card
But sometimes a strange reflection
A voice with acres of presence
Sees all my imperfections
And watches them grow older
You are some phenomena
You make me wanna
Stop running so fast
And savour the last moments of the morning
As you sit there just talking
