Cricklewood Stasis

Verse 1

Grey

Pavement cracks

The shops are all closed tight

Rain rolls down the dusty glass

No one walks the street tonight

A dog barks twice

Then stops

Cricklewood is still

Chorus

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing ever changes here

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing ever changes here

Just the sound of the wind

Just the sound of the rain

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Verse 2

Slow

Muted tones

Wait for the morning bus

The engine hums a heavy song

It won't wait for us

A plastic bag

It floats

A leaf hits the ground

Chorus

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing ever changes here

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing ever changes here

Just the sound of the wind

Just the sound of the rain

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Bridge

The clock on the wall

The kettle on the stove

The tea in the cup

Time stays frozen in the frame

Every day is the same day

Every night is the same night

Chorus

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing ever changes here

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing ever changes here

Just the sound of the wind

Just the sound of the rain

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Outro

Cricklewood

So quiet

Cricklewood

So still

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Quiet now
