lyrics

yes, i heard you the first time
there's no real need to ask me again
if sometimes you speak too loudly
or if you just slightly misexplained
the end of the bulletin

that thing on your mind
the unthinking kindness
shown by a stranger
on the underground

your phone, purse and keys
swept out to sea
a well-known phrase or saying
can never quite be found

maybe it's for the best though
it's safer to be unaware
so i'm suddenly fascinated
by brushing away a long stray imaginary hair

that thing on your mind
the unthinking kindness
shown by a stranger
on the underground

your phone, purse and keys
swept out to sea
a well-known phrase or saying
can never quite be found

and yet again i didn't notice
when you missed a beat
i read it might be nothing
might be chaos incomplete
i'll say again i didn't notice
but i did, i did
well, someone somewhere is working on fixing you

that thing on your mind
the unthinking kindness
shown by a stranger
on the underground
is gonna be a breakthrough soon...
