You And A Girl

Disco: Sounds From The Gulf Stream [1999]

Stood on tiptoes 

To watch the last 

Seconds of you 

Disappear fast 

Talking I said everything 

I don’t mean 

Walking away 

I feel sick seventeen 

 

I lost my cool 

Words slipped out wrong 

Well maybe you’ll 

Decode this song 

Made you a tape to explain how I feel 

Taped to escape this old world where I’m me 

 

You and a girl in the back of a cab 

Fooling around letting London fly past 

I wish that I was that girl in that cab 

I wish but you never see me like that ... no 

 

Every goodbye 

Always the same 

I think of how 

Our hug will change 

Suddenly something 

Goes click in your heart 

Suddenly somehow 

We’re never apart 

 

Harder to breathe 

Each time you grin 

Telling me secrets 

I’m not in 

Suddenly there is no more I can say 

Suddenly somehow the words slip away 

 

You and a girl run to catch the last train 

Fooling around feeling lewd unconstrained 

I wish that I was that girl in that train 

I wish but you never see me that way... no 

The way you hold my stare 

The funny way you smile 

The doofus clothes you wear 

Sometimes things seem worthwhile 

When you and me... No girl. A dream
