Clarinet Lyrics

Take the easy way out and I'll meet you at my life
Faking 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 longing
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 longing
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've had friends who are shy
But I don't count on views
By my heading you are
Silver coins land on the floor

I don't know if you're right or I'm wrong, oh 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 make me remember, I cannot forget

Don't be scared in the morning
Just be scared for tonight
Lonely girls live for longing
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've had friends who are shy
But I don't turn the views
By my heading you are
Silver coins land on the floor

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

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

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.
