Crimes Of Paris |
| I thought it was you and your optimists view of the clock |
| And how its always another day |
| Just after twelve oclocks struck |
| You said «now I only want you so I dont have to promise» |
| But tiny children in grown-up clothes whispered all the crimes of paris |
| Chorus: youre not the girl next-door or a girl from france |
| Or the cigarette-girl in the sizzle hot-pants |
| All the words of love seem cruel and crass |
| When youre tough and transparent as armoured glass |
| Youre everywhere girl in an everyday mess |
| Wholl pay for the crimes of paris |
| I heard that you fell for the «hell or to hammersmith blues» |
| In the tiny torn up pieces of his mind hes irresistible too |
| Now its hard to say now if hes only stupid or smart |
| When he crawled through the door |
| And poured out more of his creeping-jesus heart |
| And its all here and now |
| She hit him with that paper-weight eiffel tower |
| And I tried to hold on to you but I dont know how |
| And I find it hard to swallow good advice |
| Like going down three times to only come up twice |
| Shes so convenient, hes always stiff as hair-lacquer |
| Its hard to discover now hes in love with her |
| It was her way of getting her own back |
| You never did anything she couldnt do on her own |
| Youre as good as your word and thats no good to her |
| Youd better leave that kitten alone |
