[Johnny Foreigner - The Swell/Like Neverwhere lyrics]
(You got yourself a whole new life and all
I've got is half this old one
In a whisper disguised as a snowflake, I wish
To be remembered to you in a whisper
Like a snowflake
I wish to be remembered to you
Beat the living cities out of me and
Spoilt my progress and let me be
This year it's taxes and I can see
It's going to be a long one
You've got a face for this
And drawers for eyes
You slipped through our last kiss
And I can see it's going to be a long one
She's beginning to take on water and
She's beginning on this years taxes
She's beginning to listen to what I tell her
She's picking up and going
Backwards to the beginning
She is hunting for the right
Words in white dresses
Like I heard you say it the first time
Like I got no reason to be kind
Now but it ate a hole
In my heart and now you're leaning
Over to turn the radio up
I stay out on your estate house
This year it's Texas
She's hunting for the right words but
I don't want to know)
The girls who turned us down in nightclubs
Are now pushing prams around the city centre
And they swear it’s now over
Well, it sure looks over from here
Would you believe our skyline’s stolen
Trail the queues and you’ll know no one
Say there’s more to giving up
Than another burnt-out club
And those glazed eyes!
Balconies, housewarming season
Hung with the scene girls, mostly freezing
She said it looks a little like Brooklyn
And I just laughed
I thought you’d given it up
(Oh how it’s never enough)
How you know you're getting old when
You're happy to be getting old
And those glazed eyes!
That’s when I got kind of bored
Swam out of the bills and oved abroad
It gets kinda blurred
But my legs got burned in the bare sun
The burns got covered in bites
And all those public fights were too much
Those glazed eyes
I miss you at 19 getting ID'd and angry
I miss you at 19 staring
Out Digbeth High Street
I've got is half this old one
In a whisper disguised as a snowflake, I wish
To be remembered to you in a whisper
Like a snowflake
I wish to be remembered to you
Beat the living cities out of me and
Spoilt my progress and let me be
This year it's taxes and I can see
It's going to be a long one
You've got a face for this
And drawers for eyes
You slipped through our last kiss
And I can see it's going to be a long one
She's beginning to take on water and
She's beginning on this years taxes
She's beginning to listen to what I tell her
She's picking up and going
Backwards to the beginning
She is hunting for the right
Words in white dresses
Like I heard you say it the first time
Like I got no reason to be kind
Now but it ate a hole
In my heart and now you're leaning
Over to turn the radio up
I stay out on your estate house
This year it's Texas
She's hunting for the right words but
I don't want to know)
The girls who turned us down in nightclubs
Are now pushing prams around the city centre
And they swear it’s now over
