Patrick Wolf - Overture Lyrics

It's wonderful what a smile can hide
If the teeth shine right and it's nice and wide
It's so magical what you can keep inside
And if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no

So come on now, open wide, open up now
Don't you think it's time
To look back at that boy on his way to school
Such a heavy heart, such a heavy jewel
Hiding something that one day he'll sell
But now if no one asks, no one tells a thing, no

So come on now, open wide, open up now
Don't you think it's time

Now after all these years you are at last opening
Was it worth all that war just to win
So caught up in the speed of the weight of your sin
Don't forget how the story begins
Don't forget now

Now I'm seeing all your lovers and enemies
They've been turning their keys so full of greed
I'm trying to seize that jewel you keep
What makes it shine, what makes it mine
But I don't care

Come on now, open wide
Open up now
Don't you think it's time

Now after all these tears you are at last opening
Was it worth all that war just to win

So caught up in the speed of the weight of your sin
Don't forget how your story begins
Don't forget now

Take me back to where it begins
Before the speed and the weight of your sin
Come on, take me back to where it begins

Before the speed and the weight of your sin
Come on, take me back to where it begins now

Is it worth all this war just to win

Come on, take me back to where it begins
Come on, open a while, let some love in
