lyrics

We had a good run
Drifting around ‘neath the stars
Top floor of Spooner’s, over bonnets of cars
Under pissy bridges to the dark bridlepath
Doin’ our worst, king and queen of these bars

From the back room of The Nag’s Head
Watching through the arch like a sage
As if I’m not on the very same page
But it’s me who drinks alone here
Amid the dark wood and stale beer

And the night, it explodes
In a white hot blur of street lights
Curious women who stand under lights
Looking at me like a victim of drugs
But I love this feeling
And it fits like a glove

But while I want my nights quiet
Oh, I hear sirens
And oh, why deny it?
You are to blame
So before I turn to leave you
Thanks for the good times
Together, we’re too dangerous
For this not to end
Until I am repaired
And I waltz back again

Well, we had a good time
Running around ‘neath the moon
11.30am we’re back on the juice
But it’s really kicking in this time
It’s quicker, it’s cheaper
And it’s way out of line

And if you were a wheel
I’ve spun you a thousand times
I bought your t-shirt
Committed my crimes
When hurting myself was a tragedy
Hurting everybody else was too easy for me

But I’m glad that I danced with you
As fearlessly as I did
Cos God knows now I am scared like a kid
Of your power to clip my wings
Send me down to the bottom of things
