专辑 | Happy Secret |
First things first: I have a happy secret | |
The next bit’s worse | |
I intend to keep it that way | |
I can’t remember the last word spoken | |
I got some mail I didn’t open | |
It’s an un-read letter day | |
I know both of us are poor | |
But baby what are phone bills for | |
When it’s not raining | |
All these streets are filled with students | |
But you won’t catch me complaining it’s a nuisance | |
It’s useless I know | |
A storm rolls across the suburbs | |
And the streets are as empty as the cupboards | |
But for the boy most likely | |
And the girl most lovely | |
Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping | |
The days I’ve thrown away | |
And the hours that I am keeping | |
But for a while I’m fairly happy feeling hopeless | |
A somersault in a winter coat | |
I didn’t notice a thing | |
And I say it like it’s unrehearsed | |
But I said it in the bathroom first | |
“The boy most likely | |
And the girl most lovely” | |
The hedges and the hibiscus | |
As soon as she’s outside she says | |
“I grew up in the tidiest of towns” | |
Past the pub where my parents met | |
Resigning ourselves to modern architecture | |
Don’t let the barstools get you down |
First things first: I have a happy secret | |
The next bit' s worse | |
I intend to keep it that way | |
I can' t remember the last word spoken | |
I got some mail I didn' t open | |
It' s an unread letter day | |
I know both of us are poor | |
But baby what are phone bills for | |
When it' s not raining | |
All these streets are filled with students | |
But you won' t catch me complaining it' s a nuisance | |
It' s useless I know | |
A storm rolls across the suburbs | |
And the streets are as empty as the cupboards | |
But for the boy most likely | |
And the girl most lovely | |
Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping | |
The days I' ve thrown away | |
And the hours that I am keeping | |
But for a while I' m fairly happy feeling hopeless | |
A somersault in a winter coat | |
I didn' t notice a thing | |
And I say it like it' s unrehearsed | |
But I said it in the bathroom first | |
" The boy most likely | |
And the girl most lovely" | |
The hedges and the hibiscus | |
As soon as she' s outside she says | |
" I grew up in the tidiest of towns" | |
Past the pub where my parents met | |
