about

A song about trying to keep somone on your side of the world.

lyrics

I thought all the flies in my mind were fireflies
Cos they were glowing at night, yeah they were glowing at night
I thought all the flies in my mind were fireflies
And they were flying around your image; they were glowing around your image.
Maybe the fireflies tried to show me
What there is left of you, what is left of me.
The fireflies were glowing through the night
Through this beautiful, warm night in June.
Come on sing out
With your midnight voice, your sweet midnight voice.
Come on sing out,
Let me know that you’re near, I want to know that you’re here.
I thought I could save you from fading away
With the start of a new day, with the light of the sun ray.
For I thought all the flies in my head were fireflies,
And they would light you the way, they would show you the way.
I thought you and me, we could break all the rules,
We would be the first to last, yeah our voices would last
But some rules must always be obeyed
By nature and law, by love and hate.
(So) Come on sing out
With your midnight voice, your sweet midnight voice.
Come on sing out,
Let me know that you’re near; I want to know that you’re here.
Solo
Come on sing out
With your midnight voice, your sweet midnight voice.
Come on sing out,
And maybe you’ll be loud enough your voice will be remembered in the daylight.
Come on sing out
Let’s sing it together, one last time together.
Come on sing out,
Let me see your lips when you sing the words of love.

The Laughing Man Wuppertal, Germany

THE LAUGHING MAN are a Wuppertal (Germany) based band who are always in search of the perfect pop song with sometimes deconstructed lyrics.

The band first met in 2003, made three mostly home-recorded albums, yet and is very much influenced by British, Australian and New Zealand indie music of the 1980s and 90s.
THE LAUGHING MAN were named after Jerome D. Salinger’s Short Story of the same name. ... more
