The Elephant Ride Lyrics

The Elephant Ride (Difford/Tilbrook)
Today is none of our concern
Today is none of our concern
Today is none of our concern
That rewarding cigarette
That burns slowly by the bed
Fills the room with mystery
The apple ripens on the tree
C#m Bm (7th Fret) (or A high E)
That protected seal of love
G#m Bm (2nd Fret)
Broken by the flame of fun
Lying back with Exodus
In the arms of lovers trust
Today is none of our concern
Today is none of our concern
That romantic dance of light
From the curtain broken night
Shadows fall on mystery
Love has ripened here for me
C#m Bm (7th Fret) (or A high E)
Stubbing out the cigarette
G#m Bm (2nd Fret)
I see the clothes beside the bed
As the half light of the day
Pulls the sheet up once again
Today is none of our concern
Today is none of our concern
As the phone hangs by the cord
As the streets begin to fill
There's no distance anymore
There's no wanting when you will
C#m Bm (7th Fret) (or high E)
We'll be sleeping through the day
G#m Bm (2nd Fret)
As the world around us turns
As the phone hangs by the cord
Today is none of our concern
Today is none of our concern
Today is none of our concern
Today.
