David & The Citizens - Betina lyrics

Your rating:

"Lately there has been some kind of changes in the structure

It seems somehow the sunlight doesn't move the way it ought to, my love

What are you thinking?

You draw a line that doesn't fit

You write a word that doesn't quite

seem to describe the things they should

And what can I say, when I look around I see nothing sometimes



And maybe I've been building me a fence

‘Cause nothing's gonna get to me again

Betina, if I'd only know the things there were to see

But I couldn't see the forest for the trees



And you're just a girl but when you smile

it seems to me you've seen it all

Like nothing anyone could say or do

would slightly surprise you

And where do that come from?



I think maybe they're building us a place

Which nobody will get out from again

Betina, if I'd only know the things there were to see

But I couldn't see the forest for the trees



We should have smashed your father's house

And hung him out in the papers

We should have gone there with a bat

to teach that bastard a lesson or two

But somethings you do and some

are said and thrown away, Betina



Betina, do I need to tell you how often I've been thinking of you

Everytime I see a face like yours it brings your memory back to life

Of things to fear and things to love, I'll never know what you were thinking of

But some witnesses have said that it's the most pretty place they've been

and that is some kind of comfort I guess



And maybe I've been building me a fence

‘Cause nothing's gonna get to me again

Betina, if I'd only know the things there were to see

But I couldn't see the forest for the trees



We should have smashed your father's house

And hung him out in the papers

We should have gone there with a bat

to teach that bastard a lesson or two

But somethings you do and some

are said and thrown away, Betina

How I wish you could have stayed
