Lyrics The Delgados

The Delgados

Clarinet

Take the easy way out and I'll meet you at my life

Naked intimacy is an art form of mine

Say hello, say goodbye, say whatever I'm feeling

Fingers crossed, there's no point in these lies

Cos you're getting nothing, cos everything's lies

Don't be scared in the morning

Just be scared for tonight

Lonely girls live for longer

They wish

They dream

Hanging out of my window at dawn at the weekend

Onion bhajis, the Byrds, cherryade, it's alright

These are times I can't see now what we are together

It's not crass, I'm not talking of doves

It's just I'm afraid I forgot what I love

Don't be scared in the morning

Just be scared for tonight

Lonely girls live for longer

They wish and they dream but to live they must fly

No I won't be your friend and I'll die if you're right

I have had friends who are shy

But I don't count on views

I'm not heaven, you are

Silver coins land on the floor

I don't know if you're right or I'm wrong or I don't care

Let's go out for the night, get some chips in the car

Tell me what you've been reading, the day and the TV

Make me laugh for a while when I fret

Then let me remember, I cannot forget

Don't be scared in the morning

Just be scared for tonight

Lonely girls live for longer

They wish and they dream but to live they must fly

No I won't be your friend and I'll die if you're right

I have had friends who are shy

But I don't turn the views

I'm not heaven, you are

Silver coins land on the floor
