Thieves Like Us Lyrics

I agree that this song does paint a picture in my mind especially when I listen to it walking to work in an early chilly morning. The long instrumental intro somehow sends resonnance for some kind of longing. I didn't actually pay much attention to the lyrics but I really like the verse when it says

I've lived my life in the valleys I've lived my life on the hills I've lived my life on alcohol I've lived my life on pills

It is so beautiful, so sad, so pathetic, so screwed up and so alone all at the same time. This is so well-put! Sometimes love really does feel this way particularly when its bygone.

My Opinion
