about

Roll up the map of Europe.

lyrics

half a pound of rotting fish
a jeweler's ring without a wish
a semi-precious stone
a fox
a toad

all those dreams you never caught
and all those battles, never fought
and all that roadkill lying
in the road

don't look back, there isn't room
it's not you, it's the credit boom
remember how the milk and honey flowed?
can't believe your light is dying
you'd sell your soul but no one's buying
you know you're only reaping what you sowed

I bet you never opened that cheese shop in Nazareth
I bet you never paid back all the money you owed
I bet you never stitched up the fabric of spacetime
if wishes were horses
your head would explode

now it's four in the morning
you've got one more drink of wine
has the age of reason blown your blues away?
all those familiar demons
all those voices down the line
don't listen now, they've nothing new to say

just roll it up
roll up the map of Europe
unfurl the charts of hell
it's not enough to lose your faith
you have to lose your mind as well
face down in the last ditch, dreaming
all those mangled codeine dreams
all those plans you won't be needing
all those crazy schemes

just roll 'em up
roll up the map of Europe
unfurl the games of chance
it's not enough to court the blues
you have to let them join the dance
no rest for the damned, no refuge
from Uncle Google's all-seeing eye
say hello to the cloud of knowing
kiss yourself goodbye

and roll it up

I bet you never opened that cheese shop in Nazareth
I bet you never paid back all the money you owed
I bet you never saw how it looked from the outside
if wishes were horses
your head would explode
