| Life on the margins
|
| Little looks we have to steal
|
| I want to run like vagrants hand in hand across this field
|
| But I know the way you are I could fall into the star
|
| It’s not easy for everybody to fall in love
|
| The city walls are reigning perilous and tall over dark chilling streets
|
| No, it’s not weakness when you fall
|
| Oh, it’s just too much too fast
|
| Crash that car into the wall
|
| Don’t let them tell you that there’s a right way to fall in love
|
| And she says
|
| I want to live my life
|
| Don’t want to waste my time
|
| I want a man who makes me feel like a woman
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| And now I know that you could never love someone like me
|
| I used to run with my whiskers to the sun
|
| I used to shed my weakness like a bullet sheds a gun, but I say
|
| Close in on me, my foundations came undone
|
| I said, why oh why is there so much hate in this world
|
| Belt out a song, some vicious call-to-arms gone wrong
|
| But we’ve tended now we’re going fifty thousand strong
|
| This one’s a dream so shut your mouth and sing along
|
| Oh the science of music is all stupid and cruel
|
| And I know I want to live my life
|
| Don’t want to waste my time
|
| Trying to strike the right lyrical density
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| And now I know that you could never love someone like me
|
| And I know I want to live my life
|
| Don’t want to waste my time
|
| I want to be the toast of the shanty-town
|
| You stick around a while
|
| And you cut your teeth
|
| You can’t go home
|
| I used to be, I used to be, I used to be
|
| I used to be, I used to be, I used to be
|
| I used to be, I used to be
|
| I used to be your biggest fan
|
| And then I saw you in a doorway
|
| For a moment you looked tender and I knew
|
| That I could never ever ever ever ever ever touch you
|
| Because you might, oh you might touch back
|
| Oh yes, you might, oh you might touch back
|
| Well I made a mistake, well I made two
|
| One for me and one for you
|
| And then I knew
|
| That I would measure everybody against you
|
| Yes, I would measure everybody against you
|
| Well I used to be
|
| I used to be, I used to be, I used to be
|
| I used to be, I used to be
|
| Your biggest fan |
