The Delgados – Clarinet Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song's about the transition between being in a fairly casual relationship and a more serious one, and wondering if the compromise is worth it.

The Delgados – Clarinet Lyrics 19 years ago
Can't believe how badly transcripted this beautiful song is!!!! These are a closer stab at the lyrics:

Take the easy way out and I'll meet you at my life
Naked intimacy is an art form of mine
Say hello, say goodbye, say whatever I'm feeling
Fingers crossed, there's no point in these lies
Cos you're getting nothing, cos everything's lies
Don't be scared in the morning
Just be scared for tonight
Lonely girls live for longer
They wish
They dream

Hanging out of my window at dawn at the weekend
Onion bhajis, the Byrds, cherryade, it's alright
These are times I can't see now what we are together
It's not crass, I'm not talking of doves
It's just I'm afraid I forgot what I love
Don't be scared in the morning
Just be scared for tonight
Lonely girls live for longer
They wish and they dream but to live they must fly

No I won't be your friend and I'll die if you're right
I have had friends who are shy
But I don't count on views (???)
I'm not heaven, you are
Silver coins land on the floor

I don't know if you're right or I'm wrong or I don't care
Let's go out for the night, get some chips in the car
Tell me what you've been reading, the day and the TV
Make me laugh for a while when I fret
Then let me remember, I cannot forget
Don't be scared in the morning
Just be scared for tonight
Lonely girls live for longer
They wish and they dream but to live they must fly

No I won't be your friend and I'll die if you're right
I have had friends who are shy
But I don't turn the views
I'm not heaven, you are
Silver coins land on the floor
