Rented Rooms Lyrics

There’s the same hotel, and we can go there now

We can go there now if you want to
Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
It was only hours
It seemed such a short while
We had no time to cry
Or sit and wonder why
We had so many things started to say
We had to get through
We tried the cinema
Within half an hour
We had to go find someplace else
Some more. . . you know
We tried a drinking bar
It gets so very hard
And when the cab ride gets too long
We go fuck in the bathroom

We can’t afford the time to sit and cry
Or to wonder why
We’ve got so many things started to say
We had to get through

Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
We had so many things started to say
We had to get through

We can’t afford the time to sit and cry
Or to wonder why
We’ve got so many things started to say
We had to get through
We haven’t got the time for telling lies
Or to even try
There’s only days in between
There’s just tomorrow

Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
It was only hours it seemed such a short while
In those pillows all the feathers that hold all our dreams
Whispered at the scene
Now they just seem to float on a breeze
I could have wrapped that pillow around my head
Face down on the bed
I could have drowned in those so-called dreams

It's one of my best

@jism your is appropriate to my understanding of the song. It seems like a very carnal tale. The two(?) people are caught under the spell of their intense physical feelings for each other. They never get to discuss their feelings and life and moving forward. Every time they meet... it just descends into this intense and passionate encounter... the world comes to a standstill while they're together. But... then real life comes around (until next time).

"@jism your NAME is appropriate to my understanding of the song..."

My apologies, I omitted the word: "name" from the first line of my original response, and I have no way of editing it.
