Submarine Bells

The Chills Submarine Bells Lyrics
1.Don't Be - Memory

Lyricist:Martin John James Phillipps

I almost wish I could forget you
In reality I won't
Though summer with my arms around you
Seems hopelessly remote

It won't be long
And our love is strong
It won't be long, it won't be long
If nothing goes wrong

I would tell you loves eternal
But eternity is such a long time
Which we both know we won't handle
With solitude so unattractive

But we don't have long
And now we've this greenhouse on
No, we don't have long, we don't have long
Has something gone wrong? Aah

I'll try to delay this desperate deal
By mailing eight letters that say how I feel
For if you weren't here
There'd always be clear reminiscence

Sensing your presence
Don't be a stranger
And don't be, memory

Cozy in the North wing
Taking turns at Swamp Thing
Listening to The Byrds sing
On the tape recorder

Praying that we might gain
Time and understanding
What's the use, the phone rings
Sends another order

The uncaring power of memory
So crippling in its clarity
Those spiteful spikes of sentiment
I'd love to make some sense of it

But I won't be long
And our love is strong
No, I won't be long, I won't be long
Has something gone wrong, aah

Sensing your essence
So reminiscent
A forgotten flavor
Don't be, memory

Feeling resented
Unrepresented
Please don't regret it
And don't be, memory


2.Pink Frost

Lyricist:Phillips Martin

Want to stop the crying, want to stop the crying
She's lying there dying
How can I live when you see what I've done?
How can I live when you see what I've done?

What can I do if she dies? What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she's lost?
Just the thought fills my heart with pink frost

Thought I was dreaming so I didn't hear you screaming
I'm so scared, I'm so scared
She won't move and I'm holding her head
She won't move and I'm holding her head

She's lost, she's lost
She's lost
Pink frost

I'm really not lying
I'm so scared
I'll have to stop the crying
Now she's dead

What can I do if she dies? What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she's lost?
Just the thought fills my heart with pink frost
Oh no


3.Heavenly Pop Hit

Each evening the sun sets in five billion places
Seen by ten billion eyes set in five billion faces
Then they close, end the day, and wait for the dawning
But the daylight and sunrise are brighter in our eyes

Once we were dead, now I guess, we are angels
For we passed though the dark and avoided the dangers
Then I walk with a startling changes

All the tension is ended, the sentence suspended
Darkness sparkles and gleams
And it all seems larger than life to me

I find it rather hard rather hard to believe
So I stand as the sound goes straight through my body
I'm so bloated up, happy and I throw things around me

And I'm growing in stages and have been for ages
Just singing and floating and free

Dum, de, dum, dum
It's a heavenly pop hit
If anyone wants it

Dum, de, dum, dum
It's a heavenly pop hit
It's something that we're humming as

We swoop low on trees, always sweep under carpets
We can dive into suns though it's not recommended
We can hover, silent and listen, closely

It all seems
(All seems)
Larger than life to me

I find it
(Find it)
Hard to believe

So I wear what I want
Well, fruit had a can
They'd been that way for years
Yet their lives are elastic
They should be fantastic
They should be splendid

Dum, de, dum, dum
Dum, de, dum, dum
It's a heavenly pop hit
If anyone wants it

Dum, de, dum, dum
Dum, de, dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit
For anybody, for those that still want it
