            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 Only yesterday 
I told myself that life is grey 
Didn't make me sad 
Made me feel human. 
Only yesterday 
I told myself that love is green 
Greener than the trees 
Growing in my bedroom. 
Made me want to lose myself, lose myself 
In a song about the sun 
Or the many things that I don't understand 
Like I did since I was young. 
Made me want to open doors, sleep on floors 
In a world outside your door 
Watch a movie, play some piano 
Write a sonnet, build an army. 
Let's build an army 
Now will you love me? 
Let's build an army. 
Only yesterday 
I realised that tall, dark tomb 
Punctuates the sky 
A giant's exclamation. 
Shame on our beloved nation 
The codes we send as ash into the sky 
Oh sorrow cure me from tiny glories 
Now dig for beauty and build an army. 
Let's build an army 
Now will you love me? 
Then build an army. 
The truth is life is grey 
The truth is times are strange 
The truth is I'm ok 
And you're beautiful. 
The truth is life is grey 
The truth is times are strange 
The truth is I'm ok 
And you're beautiful 
And you're beautiful 
And you're beautiful 
And you're beautiful 
And you're beautiful 
And you're beautiful.
