[00:01.25]We play these parlour games
[00:06.42]We play at make believe
[00:10.37]When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave
[00:18.69]Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try
[00:26.59]We go straight past pretending
[00:30.53]To the part where everybody loves to cry
[00:38.23]Indoor fireworks
[00:42.87]Can still burn your fingers
[00:45.81]Indoor fireworks
[00:50.21]We swore we were safe as houses
[00:53.60]Theyre not so spectacular
[00:57.86]They don't burn up in the sky
[01:00.99]But they can dazzle or delight
[01:05.86]Or bring a tear
[01:08.92]When the smoke gets in your eyes
[01:17.35]You were the spice of life
[01:20.77]The gin in my vermouth
[01:25.08]And though the sparks would fly
[01:27.91]I thought our love was fireproof
[01:33.57]Sometimes wed fight in public darling
[01:38.00]With very little cause
[01:41.57]But different kinds of sparks would fly
[01:44.94]When we got on our own behind closed doors
[01:53.06]Its time to tell the truth
[02:35.90]These things have to be faced
[02:39.29]My fuse is burning out
[02:42.62]And all that powders gone to waste
[02:48.77]Don't think for a moment dear that well ever be through
[02:56.13]Ill build a bonfire of my dreams
[03:00.56]And burn a broken effigy of me and you
