Eustice Isadore Lyrics - Singles - Admiral Twin

A dull and dreary day 

What else can you say? 

"Eustice, you're always such a bore" 

Why, thank you, Isadore" 

They say a door is nothing on its own 

It must lead somewhere 

I'd like to go somewhere 

We could go for a look-about in the attics and the closed rooms 

Find diaries and letters of long-dead distant lovers 

It'd be just like when we were children sneaking all around 

We wouldn't make a sound 

They'd beat us black and blue if we were found 

But they can't touch us now 

"Izzy, don't mean to be a bore but really Isadore 

You know these gray days make me blue 

I don't know what to do 

No, there's nothing I want to do" 

The dull and dreary day becomes a dark and stormy night 

Eustice, we could go outside and bottle fireflies 

Fairy lamps burn bright in the face of stormy night 

And the old black umbrella could keep us from all harm 

We could go to the lichyard and see what there's to see 

Maybe a cabal meets underneath the banyan trees 

It'd be just like when we were children sneaking all around 

We wouldn't make a sound 

We thought they'd reach out from their graves 

And drag us down but they don't scare us now 

"Izzy, don't mean to be a drag 

But I'll do no such thing, I'm staying in this chair. 

I'd probably break my neck falling in an open grave 

Or catch some horrid, fatal ache" 

"Oh Eustice, come with me, come outside 

It'll be all right"
