Powderfinger - The Metre Lyrics






Blow the candles out raise a glass to the night
Let all the tension out you've been wound up so tight
It's a tender trap to plan ahead all the time
If you measure the world by what you leave behind

Welcome to the saving grace
Welcome to the saving grace
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go

Keep the glass topped up it's not over just yet
Pull off the social bluff celebrate your success
Turn the sunlight out find a place in the shade
If you measure the world by the mark that you make

Welcome to the saving grace
Welcome to the saving grace
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go

    This is so good. Just beautiful.

  4. 6.... ....

    Used to listen to these guys back in 2000, and haven't listened to them in over 14 years until recently. Their songs are just simply amazing. They don't make music like this anymore....So underrated yet so brilliant.

    "They don't make music like this anymore" Could not agree more. Abba, Bay City Rollers, The Knack, and who could forget "The Hee Bee Jee Bee's".

    You rock 6shix6.

    The lack of attention this has is sad

    Blow the candles out to raise to the night
    Let all the tension out
    You've been wound up so tight
    It's a tender trap to plan ahead all the time
    If you measure the world
    By what you leave behind
    Welcome to the saving grace
    Welcome to the saving grace
    There's a sunset on the road
    Reappearing as we go
    Keep the glass topped up it's not over just yet
    Pull off the social bluff celebrate your success
    Turn the sunlight out to find a place in the shade
    If you measure the world
    By the mark that you make
    Welcome to the saving grace
    Welcome to the saving grace
    There's a sunset on the road
    Reappearing as we go
