lyrics

Suburbia

There’s a gypsy selling heather in the corner of the street
She takes my money, smacks her lips, says who I’m gonna meet
You can tell where she’s from, there’s resignation in her smile
She rode the rollercoaster, she’s walked the golden mile

She takes my hand in her leather one and presses close to me
But in her whisper all I hear’s the crashing of the sea
And grass is always greener, floor is always cleaner on the other side
And you will always be found despite making no sound when you hide

With vodka knowledge belching forth can’t stumble very far
There’s a man I know fixated on his beer glass at the bar
As I struggle with a riff that can only end in tears
He pauses to remind me it’s been three whole years

You and me we’re the honest thing about which the poets know
We’re the cobbled streets in town on which the lovers glow
You’re compulsively quiet and confusingly loud
You’re always borrowed when I look around, you pleasure me, come pleasure me for a while

There’s a bomb in your shoe know it’s hard to admit
There’s a gun in your boot, that’s why they don’t fit
An unexploded piece of everyone’s heart
Paused on the shelf labelled ’missing part’

She takes my hand in her leather one and presses close to me
But in her whisper all I hear’s the crashing of the sea
And floor is always cleaner, grass is always greener on the other side
And you will always be found despite making no sound when you hide
And you will always be found despite making no sound when you hide
