Gord Downie - Coco Chanel No. 5 lyrics
[Gord Downie - Coco Chanel No. 5 lyrics]
I could tell the truth or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing at the right time
We started out writing good
Letters back and forth
Me in Memphis recording
Yours were scented with Coco No 5
We wrote stimulating things
I could tell the truth or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing at the right time
Like I miss you so much
In person and up close
When we fucked till we fought
Away from each other, we could manage to see
Just what it was that we got
In absentia, we were better off
Finding new places to stand
Finding new signs of resignation
For the wishes we shared
I could tell the truth or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing at the right time
Or say the right thing at the right time
We started out writing good
Letters back and forth
Me in Memphis recording
Yours were scented with Coco No 5
We wrote stimulating things
I could tell the truth or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing at the right time
Like I miss you so much
In person and up close
When we fucked till we fought
Away from each other, we could manage to see
Just what it was that we got
In absentia, we were better off
Finding new places to stand
Finding new signs of resignation
For the wishes we shared
I could tell the truth or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing at the right time
