Songs for Percy

Verse 1

Somebody strung up fairy lights Out where the old shed stands Boxes stacked up in the dark Waiting on your hands

Pre-chorus

We been saving up this joy Holding it in tight Ready to let it loose tonight

Chorus

Percy, this whole room loves you Sing it high, sing it clear Nobody shines quite like Percy So glad that you are here

Verse 2

Every year we find you first Right there among the noise You turn the dullest evening bright Better than any toys

Bridge

Clap your hands, let the rafters shake Give this day all we got Percy, we are wide awake Grateful for the life you brought

Chorus

Percy, this whole room loves you Sing it high, sing it clear Nobody shines quite like Percy So glad that you are here

Outro

Turn the lights up round the shed door We will sing this every year

Verse 1

The bus is loud and warm tonight Streetlamps blink and catch the light You draw a circle on the glass Watching all the faces pass

Pre-chorus

Every stop we pass reminds me Nothing here could ever blind me So I'm turning now to say

Chorus

Percy, here's to you tonight Steam and glass and streetlamp light No one else could make it Percy This whole bus would ask for mercy

Verse 2

You wipe the fog with your sleeve Grinning like you'd never leave Somebody starts to hum a song Everyone else just sings along

Bridge

Doesn't matter where this bus goes Long as you're the one it shows Every window, every light Feels like yours tonight

Chorus

Percy, here's to you tonight Steam and glass and streetlamp light No one else could make it Percy This whole bus would ask for mercy

Outro

The glass keeps clearing, streetlamps glow Happy birthday, wherever you go

Verse 1

You pulled those curtains shut tonight Just you and me and gravel ground But word got out and here's the light A caravan with candles round

Pre-chorus

Squeeze in close, there's room for more Somebody's bringing out the cake We're banging spoons against the door

Chorus

Percy, light the candles up Every year we love you worse Pour the cider in the cup We'd walk a mile behind your hearse

Verse 2

You never needed much at all Just yellow curtains, gravel, tea But look how many came to call Just to sing this loud for thee

Chorus

Percy, light the candles up Every year we love you worse Pour the cider in the cup We'd walk a mile behind your hearse

Bridge

Nobody fits in one small space The way you do without a fuss Small caravan, but plenty grace Somehow there's always room for us

Chorus

Percy, light the candles up Every year we love you worse Pour the cider in the cup We'd walk a mile behind your hearse

Outro

Pull those curtains tight again Percy, we'll be back next year
