Years ago I had this thing about the Iron Man standing in Victoria square
That he got there first, stopped for a rest
And meanwhile this city grew up all around him
So, maybe he'll wake up one day
I've aways got a real buzz out of running
It kind of kept me sane
One time, I ran a race, against a horse
It was on a beach in Spain
It was a beautiful horse and a beautiful rider
I was winning for a while, but she caught me up
Sometimes it feels that your life and loves
Your breath and thought
Just get blown away like a Dandelion Clock
But when you fall in love or fall out
Friendship and loss
That's like throwing grit in the works of the Dandelion Clock
Hey, do you remember that time we rode our bikes into town at four in the morning
Drunk on a bike and old enough to know better
Just for a laugh and a beer in Take Five
Life and love
That's grit in the works
Life and love, life and love, life and love
Its like your life and loves your breath and your thought
Get blown way like a Dandelion Clock
Falling in love and falling out, friendship and loss
Throw grit in the works of the Dandelion Clock
Grit in the works
Life and love, life and love
Life and love, life and love
Ahh our random wanderings
When we lose ourselves in city streets
Me and you the best times of all
Grit in the works
Falling in love and falling out
Friendship and loss
Throw grit in the works of the Dandelion Clock
Grit in the works
