Lyrics Everything But the Girl

Everything But the Girl

Hatfield 1980

Suburbia, 1 a.m. you're walking home again

Shopping bags and broken glass

I hate going through the underpass

I wish there was some other way around

But you got beaten up by the playground

And it's no use you'll have to go through

Suburban shopping center pedestrian walkways

I think they were meant to make things better

It's just emptier the scary nighttime

Hatfield, at that time

This is the place I live

Where is everyone? We the only ones

This is the place I live

And so does everyone, and so does everyone

Hatfield 1980

I'm seeing my first knife my first ambulance ride

I hold your hand the whole way crying get home the next day

Police have already been well, you can imagine the scene

And if I'm going home

I better change my clothes

I better change my clothes

And if I'm going home

I better change my clothes

I better change my clothes

This is the place I live

Where is everyone? We the only ones

This is the place I live

And so does everyone, and so does everyone

When I'm looking back I look for everyone

And when I fall down I fall for everyone

When I'm looking back I look for everyone

And when I fall down I fall for everyone
