Sunglasses Songtext
von Black Country, New Road

Welcome
To the best new six-part Danish crime drama
She steams herself in marble rooms, courtesy of Big Pharma
I lose myself in the light of the TV, courtesy of her father
She buys everything that glows gold in the kitchen larder

Mother is juicing watermelons on the breakfast island
And with frail hands she grips the NutriBullet
And the bite of its blades reminds me of a future that I am in no way part of
And in a wall of photographs
In the downstairs second living room′s TV area
I become her father
And complain of mediocre theatre in the daytime
And ice in single malt whiskey at night
Of rising skirt hems, lowering IQs
And things just aren't built like they used to be
The absolute pinnacle of British engineering


And I am so ignorant now, with all that I have learnt
Oh, baby, can you hear me?
So ignorant now, with all that I′ve learnt
Oh, baby, can you hear me?
Oh, touch me, so ignorant now
With all that I've learnt
Oh, baby can you hear me? Just touch me
Oh! Oh, just touch me
It's just like I′ve always wanted
Just fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac
Buy me dinner, meet my parents
And fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac
Touch me, oh, touched

I am invincible in these sunglasses
I am the Fonz, I am the Jack of Hearts
I am looking at you and you cannot tell
I am more than the sum of my parts
I am looking at you with my best eyes
And I wish you could tell
I wish all my kids would stop dressing up like Richard Hell
I am locked away in a high-tech, wraparound, translucent, blue-tinted fortress
And you cannot fucking touch me
I am invincible in these sunglasses
Cars are going beep, beep, beep
And there are so many roadmen on this street
And you cannot tell that I am scared
I am invincible in these sunglasses
I′m modern Scott Walker
I'm a surprisingly smooth talker
And I am invincible in these sunglasses


And I am so ignorant now, with all that I′ve learnt
Oh, baby, can you hear me baby?
So ignorant now, with all that I've learnt
Oh, baby
Oh, touch me

I′m more than adequate
Leave Kanye out of this
Leave your Sertraline in the cabinet
And fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac
I'm more than adequate
Leave my daddy′s job out of this
Leave your Sertraline in the cabinet
And fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac
I'm more than adequate
Leave Kanye out of this
Leave your Sertraline in the cabinet
And fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac
I'm more than adequate
Leave my daddy′s job out of this
Leave your Sertraline in the cabinet
And fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac

She sells chemtrails
To the students at Bedales
I try to free myself from the grip
Of Shellac nails
Oh, she sells chemtrails
To the students at Bedales
I try to free myself from the grip
Of Shellac nails
She sells chemtrails
To the students at Bedales
