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 |
