Light Up Your Candles - Graham Coxon

Well I know you say now «very well done, me old son»

But it’s hard you know, every day is a dark dark one

'Cos my old friend’s here, tug tug tugging at my sleeve

You know he tugs so hard that he could almost make me leave

Light up your candles, into the dark we go

To be a good man is all I want you know

Light up your candles, 'cos here we go

It’s a schlep this old life, just one slip and you are gone

Back into the void where you came from

You can’t light your own way through this dark unholy place

With just one candle and a happy face

So light it up now, fill the darkness with your grace

With just one candle and a happy face

Light it up now, your happy face… yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Light it up now, your happy face

It’s too easy somehow, just grit your teeth and let it go

Last seduction, total destruction

So what you gonna do now with the good life you have found

Grin and bear it 'til you’re six feet in the ground?

Light up your candles, into the dark we go

To be a good man is all I want you know

Light up your candles, 'cos here we go

Light it up now, 'cos here we go
