Some Of Them Were Superstitious Lyrics - Singles - Midlake

Some of them were superstitious 

Sitting with their backs facing the orchard 

All of them with mittens on their hands and feet 

Were waiting there for winter 

Thousands on the freeze 

Well, I could never join them there 

And we dare not bother 

But couldn't help but holler, yeah 

There's no use in hiding 

The joy from the bright new sun 

I could wait for winter 

Better if it never comes 

Some of them were superstitious 

Watching them parade around the town square 

Some of them were praising 

While cold and simply 'cause they don't know better 

Someone to protect them 

Someone to keep track of them 

No, I don't believe them 

I would rather holler, yeah 

There's no use in hiding 

The joy from the bright new sun 

Now you say you're leaving 

But leaving will just bring you down 

Can you operate machines like that? 

Miles a day on tough terrain and grass 

I'm not sure if we will meet again 

I guess it depends on which company you're in 

Oh wait, you're gone, you're gone 

So soon, so soon, so long 

But life in the words for someone 

And you're someone 

So soon, so soon, so long 

And when you're gone, you're gone 

And life, it works for someone 

You're someone, you're someone 

You're someone
