Hold me tight, like a gun

And please dont tell me we´ve already seen enough sun

Cos we both know, that aint true

Thats just something that we gotta do...



I rest my head in my hands

Dont want to listen so I stick my head into the sand

You stick around and count your toes

When we´re together nothing goes



I think about this girl I saw

Who had tears painted on her cheeks and did this monolouge

And she was good bu we all laughed

Now I guess I feel ashamed



And about this friend who used to care

He signed up and the military cut his hair

He moved away but did not complain

He said: When I´ts over I´ll come back again



I remember speed and the lights were red

And Lucy in the sky was echoing through my head

You just got the card and we raced the streets

I felt my weight against the seat.



The prettiest girl I ever saw

She said this town brought her down and it made her bored

She sold jeans in this clothing store

So I bought two pairs I could not afford



And Mr Polaroid and Mr Tambourine

and all other teachers who never quite belived in me

They stood and stared, I shook my head

But it wasn´t like I ever cared



I think of when we met, I felt alone

Seems like I´ve spent half my life talking to you on the phone

All things you had to do, they made you sigh

I said all we have to do is die



And I told you ´bout this time I flew

When me and Johnny were going down to Liverpool

And we almoust crashed

It just made me appriciate my life



And I´ll remember you when the wind comes in

we used to hate the smell of coffee in the morning

You got nothing to do but

You know you cant move until this town is through with you



So hold me tight like a gun

And please dont tell me we´ve already seen enough sun

Cos we both know that it´s alright

It´s the stuff that get us through the night
