Untidy Towns Lyrics

	First things first: I have a happy secret
	The next bit’s worse
	I intend to keep it that way
	I can’t remember the last word spoken
	I got some mail I didn’t open
	It’s an un-read letter day
	I know both of us are poor
	But baby what are phone bills for
	When it’s not raining
	All these streets are filled with students
	But you won’t catch me complaining it’s a nuisance
	It’s useless I know
	A storm rolls across the suburbs
	And the streets are as empty as the cupboards
	But for the boy most likely
	And the girl most lovely
	Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping
	The days I’ve thrown away
	And the hours that I am keeping
	But for a while I’m fairly happy feeling hopeless
	A somersault in a winter coat
	I didn’t notice a thing
	And I say it like it’s unrehearsed
	But I said it in the bathroom first
	“The boy most likely
	And the girl most lovely”
	The hedges and the hibiscus
	As soon as she’s outside she says
	“I grew up in the tidiest of towns”
	Past the pub where my parents met
	Resigning ourselves to modern architecture
	Don’t let the barstools get you down

	First things first: I have a happy secret
	The next bit' s worse
	I intend to keep it that way
	I can' t remember the last word spoken
	I got some mail I didn' t open
	It' s an unread letter day
	I know both of us are poor
	But baby what are phone bills for
	When it' s not raining
	All these streets are filled with students
	But you won' t catch me complaining it' s a nuisance
	It' s useless I know
	A storm rolls across the suburbs
	And the streets are as empty as the cupboards
	But for the boy most likely
	And the girl most lovely
	Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping
	The days I' ve thrown away
	And the hours that I am keeping
	But for a while I' m fairly happy feeling hopeless
	A somersault in a winter coat
	I didn' t notice a thing
	And I say it like it' s unrehearsed
