Sweet Defeat

Well I was busy going nowhere

Hanging out in no mans land

When you showed me the silver

There in bad lucks ugly hand

You've got the sweetest disposition

And a heart that's open wide

I know that you're the woman

Who's gonna keep me satisfied

Sweet defeat

I'm lying helpless at your feet

And so it's goodbye to the street

I'm so pleased to meet you sweet defeat

Well I'd given up believing

That I'd ever end up here

But now I'm happy on the high wire

With your voice ringing in my ears

I wanna call you up Sundays

When I've nothing much to say

I want hold on to you darling

Throw everything else I got away

Sweet defeat

I'm lying helpless at your feet

And so it's goodbye to the street

I'm so pleased to meet you sweet defeat

You're like the morning breeze a' blowin'

Right through this weary soul

You give me a feeling

From my head down to my toes

Sweet defeat

I'm lying helpless at your feet

And so it's goodbye to the street

I'm so pleased to meet you sweet defeat
