I've drunk too much, to belong to you feel so much older, but I'm only 22 she said she was an artist when I met her on the street she sleeps right through the afternoon and throws up on the sheet she took me to a hotel where she watched the evenings end cried into her coffee swearing she was on a mend two tortured souls digging a hole, when we need to cry I wish I had your heart instead of mine, instead of mine I took a nightbus down to the park I climbed over the gate and then I ran into the dark he said he was an artist on his bench under a tree he said he liked to see the stars but not on nights like these two tortured souls digging a hole, when we need to cry I wish I had your heart instead of mine, instead of mine I've drunk too much to belong to you I look up all the people to help me make it through everyone is an artist, and they've all got things to say they know the words to say it all, but just not what to say just as night follows day, everything alive falls into decay that's why I wish I had your heart, instead of mine yes, I wish I had your heart instead of mine
that was great. truly. and I have to admit the first time I was only listening to this and concentrating on other things and I didn't even notice it wasn't Brett. They really were freakishly similiar. The lyrics to this were so good aswell. Thanks "InkyUK" :)
Was the song for me and my guy for 15 years -- because he was 22, then he cheated for some jailbait and dumped me. Hard to listen to it now, but hopefully each time the association will fade.
Haunting lovely song- His voice caresses each word like a soft summer breeze- Just A gorgeous mix of Melancholy and wistful desire
This song is SO GREAAAT! Lyrics are so beautiful. one of my top suede songs, really.
Beautiful! Love the mood of this song.
I've drunk too much, to belong to you
feel so much older, but I'm only 22
she said she was an artist when I met her on the street
she sleeps right through the afternoon and throws up on the sheet
she took me to a hotel where she watched the evenings end
cried into her coffee swearing she was on a mend
two tortured souls digging a hole, when we need to cry
I wish I had your heart instead of mine, instead of mine
I took a nightbus down to the park
I climbed over the gate and then I ran into the dark
he said he was an artist on his bench under a tree
he said he liked to see the stars but not on nights like these
two tortured souls digging a hole, when we need to cry
I wish I had your heart instead of mine, instead of mine
I've drunk too much to belong to you
I look up all the people to help me make it through
everyone is an artist, and they've all got things to say
they know the words to say it all, but just not what to say
just as night follows day, everything alive falls into decay
that's why I wish I had your heart, instead of mine
yes, I wish I had your heart instead of mine
Need to hear this live!
to me it's one of the best suede songs. they should have put this in sci fi and remastered albums.
wow - that is really nice. love his voice. he should have done more
