lyrics
At 7.38
The bus is always full
But we keep holding on
And no one’s filled with hate
We’ve left it all at home
Later it will dawn
And they say there’s a light
That never goes out
By the bus driver’s seat
Or the ticket machine
All the lonely people here
We do our best
But it costs a lot to hope
Do you remember books you’ve read?
Does it stick in your head?
Only punishment no crime
Because I miss you when I get in and out of bed
Or when something makes met think about the things you said
When we spoke for what you said you wished was the last time
But when the sun comes up
We’ve allready gotten used to the darkness
The light burns out our memories
This film will never be seen
It’s not suitable for families
They say there’s a light
That never goes out
By the bus driver’s seat
Or the ticket machine
And everybody’s all right
With everything
As long as we eat
From the food machine
All the nervous people here
We do our best
But it costs a lot to hope
The bus is always full
But we keep holding on
And no one’s filled with hate
We’ve left it all at home
Later it will dawn
And they say there’s a light
That never goes out
By the bus driver’s seat
Or the ticket machine
All the lonely people here
We do our best
But it costs a lot to hope
Do you remember books you’ve read?
Does it stick in your head?
Only punishment no crime
Because I miss you when I get in and out of bed
Or when something makes met think about the things you said
When we spoke for what you said you wished was the last time
But when the sun comes up
We’ve allready gotten used to the darkness
The light burns out our memories
This film will never be seen
It’s not suitable for families
They say there’s a light
That never goes out
By the bus driver’s seat
Or the ticket machine
And everybody’s all right
With everything
As long as we eat
From the food machine
All the nervous people here
We do our best
But it costs a lot to hope

supported by 4 fans who also own “Ticket Machine”
The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt.
