Next Time Round |
| As I stepped out upon the landing my heart was already down the stairs |
| She’s in the bedroom with that boy of hers |
| Though her face is creased and her eyes seem strange |
| There’s a second-hand emotion on a battered forty-five |
| My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive |
| Now she seems contrite will she make the change |
| The next time around |
| You’ll be someone else’s baby |
| But I’ll be underground |
| The next time around |
| Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back |
| Now it’s a future for me and you that I lack |
| You’ll be the one who’ll stands out in the dark |
| Even when you’re all dressed in black |
| You’ve got something I want now |
| And I’ve got something I can’t hide |
| I’ve got too much love for you now |
| Have you got too much pride |
| Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me |
| Your elastic love, this velvet-line purgatory |
| You used to take the breath out of me |
| Now I think you’ll be the death of me |
| You’ll be in some sputnik baby |
| But I’ll be underground |
| The next time around |
