Lyrics The Cat Empire

The Cat Empire

So Many Nights

It doesn't matter what I say it doesn't matter what I do

It seems I'm going to have to change my look for you cos

I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far

And I think that we could float from evening to the stars

When I see you in the distance with your friends

I look around and then I look down at my threads

It's inappropriate that I should present like a

Retired matador with unpaid rent

So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights you step in and I walk through

So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair

So what am I supposed to do?

I bought a suit and I bought a top hat

And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks

Went to the barber got my hair cut high

And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight

But when and I see you your bodice and your pride

It's nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides

You say 'Good evening' you don't say 'Goodnight'

And I can't deny that

So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights until I changed my suit

And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair

Cos I found what to do

Put your waistcoat on, put your waistcoat on

So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights you step in and I walk through

So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair

So what am I supposed to do?

So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights until I changed my suit

And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair

Cos I found what to do

Put your waistcoat on, put your waistcoat on

Put your waistcoat on, put your waistcoat on
