lyrics

i saw you there in your fancy dress with your feet on the chair looking bored to death
i had a brand new pocket with the same old holes and i felt like a whale in a goldfish bowl

and i said ‘let’s send a message into space
tell them we need sugar and a bit more bass
come and wipe your smile across my face
‘cause Buffalo you know you love this place

‘cause there’s nothing to do around here but go hanging round the drink like Buffalo
and death is coming for us all with the force of a ten pin bowling ball

so let’s send a message into space
tell them we need sugar and a bit more bass
come and wipe your smile across my face
oh Buffalo i want to take you home’

i said ‘consider this if no-one knows what could be lurking in those shadows...
and resentment grows between the sheets but out in the open nothing keeps

let me lead you astray
yeah me bury you out there
i want to lead you astray
yeah Buffalo i want to take you home’

you said you’d be gone when morning broke and the sun was warm by the time i woke
so with the words left in my throat i wrote you a poem on a ten pound note

it said ‘this is a message into space
to tell them we need sugar and a bit more bass
but just keep that smile upon your face
and Buffalo Buffalo you’re gonna love this place’
