|
Life on the margins |
|
Little looks we have to steal |
|
I want to run like vagrants hand in hand across this field |
|
But I know the way you are I could fall into the star |
|
It's not easy for everybody to fall in love |
|
The city walls are reigning perilous and tall over dark chilling streets |
|
No, it's not weakness when you fall |
|
Oh, it's just too much too fast |
|
Crash that car into the wall |
|
Don't let them tell you that there's a right way to fall in love |
|
And she says |
|
I want to live my life |
|
Don't want to waste my time |
|
I want a man who makes me feel like a woman |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
And now I know that you could never love someone like me |
|
I used to run with my whiskers to the sun |
|
I used to shed my weakness like a bullet sheds a gun, but I say |
|
Close in on me, my foundations came undone |
|
I said, why oh why is there so much hate in this world |
|
Belt out a song, some vicious call-to-arms gone wrong |
|
But we've tended now we're going fifty thousand strong |
|
This one's a dream so shut your mouth and sing along |
|
Oh the science of music is all stupid and cruel |
|
And I know I want to live my life |
|
Don't want to waste my time |
|
Trying to strike the right lyrical density |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
And now I know that you could never love someone like me |
|
And I know I want to live my life |
|
Don't want to waste my time |
|
I want to be the toast of the shanty-town |
|
You stick around a while |
|
And you cut your teeth |
|
You can't go home |
|
I used to be, I used to be, I used to be |
|
I used to be, I used to be, I used to be |
|
I used to be, I used to be |
|
I used to be your biggest fan |
|
And then I saw you in a doorway |
|
For a moment you looked tender and I knew |
|
That I could never ever ever ever ever ever touch you |
|
Because you might, oh you might touch back |
|
Oh yes, you might, oh you might touch back |
|
Well I made a mistake, well I made two |
|
One for me and one for you |
|
And then I knew |
|
That I would measure everybody against you |
|
Yes, I would measure everybody against you |
|
Well I used to be |
|
I used to be, I used to be, I used to be, |
|
I used to be, I used to be |
|
Your biggest fan |
