lyrics

There we're smoking on the pavement
There's the lights above the door
There we're passing round the bottle
Sitting by an empty furniture store

Here's to ever after endings
Here's to castles on your hill
Here's to maybe never nowhere
I'm gonna give you your sweet mystery pill

I could take you for a fool all right
I might not be a gentleman, I'm far too tight
I could tell you there'd be sunshine and rainbows all night
And you'd believe me
I think you might believe me and it scares me

There's the weak and clumsy stairway
There's the writing on the wall
Must be something we've forgotten
Between the bottle and the handicapped stall

But I don't mean to be careless
Really I can be all right
It's just I really can't be arsed
To make the effort tonight
But come blank and bleary sunday

We'll be sitting face to face
By the kitchen table
Either at your or my place

I could take you for a fool all right
I might not be a gentleman, I'm far too tight
I could tell you there'd be sunshine and rainbows all night
And you'd believe me
I think you might believe me and it scares me
