Roscoe Lyrics - Ellie Goulding

1 Stonecutters made them from stones

2 Chosen specially for you and I

3 Who will live inside

4 The mountaineers gathered tinder piled high

5 In which to take along

6 Driving many miles, knowing they'd get here

7 When they got here, all exhausted

8 On the roof leaks they got started

9 And now when the rain comes, we can be thankful

10 Ooh, ah, ooh

11 When the mountaineers saw that everything fit

12 They were glad, and so they took off

13 Thought we were due

14 For a change or two

15 Around this place

16 When they get back, they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

17 The village used to be all one really needs

18 Now it's filled with hundreds and hundreds of chemicals

19 That mostly surround you

20 You wish to flee, but it's not like you

21 So listen to me, listen to me

22 Oh, oh, and when the morning comes

23 We will step outside

24 We will not find another man in sight

25 We like the newness, the newness of all

26 That has grown in our garden soaking for so long

27 Whenever I was a child

28 I wondered what if my name had changed

29 Into something more productive like Roscoe

30 Been born in 1891

31 Waiting with my Aunt Rosaline

32 Thought we were due

33 For a change or two

34 Around this place

35 When they get back, they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

36 Oh

37 1891

38 They roamed around and foraged

39 They made their house from cedars

40 They made their house from stone

41 Oh, they're a little like you

42 And they're a little like me

43 We have all we need

44 Thought we were due

45 For a change or two

46 Around this place

47 This place, this place

48 When they get back, they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

49 When they get back, they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
