lyrics
"The Girl Down The Lane"
Another late night spreading good will
Breakfast is a tear and a morning after pill
I’m killing that plant on my windowsill
I used to love the girl down the lane
She knew that I would fail her but she loved me just the same
So take me down slow to the wishing well
I’m gonna throw my penny to the depths of hell
For she’s as deep as coal, she’s the wind inside a shell
She’s loving me, my girl down the lane
She bites me on my ear, but I never feel pain
She greets you like a child with a melody
She holds you down and cuts you from your jagged nettle tree
And hides you in her eyes where the sun sets on the sea
She’s holding me, my girl down the lane
I’m moving on to somewhere, so she’s come to lay her claim
So when you feel a rock and a hard place
When you’ve got a world outside that you don’t want to face
When everything you’ve done amounts to nothing but a waste
I’ll take you to my girl down the lane
You might feel like you’re losing, but she’ll win you just the same
Another late night spreading good will
Breakfast is a tear and a morning after pill
I’m killing that plant on my windowsill
I used to love the girl down the lane
She knew that I would fail her but she loved me just the same
So take me down slow to the wishing well
I’m gonna throw my penny to the depths of hell
For she’s as deep as coal, she’s the wind inside a shell
She’s loving me, my girl down the lane
She bites me on my ear, but I never feel pain
She greets you like a child with a melody
She holds you down and cuts you from your jagged nettle tree
And hides you in her eyes where the sun sets on the sea
She’s holding me, my girl down the lane
I’m moving on to somewhere, so she’s come to lay her claim
So when you feel a rock and a hard place
When you’ve got a world outside that you don’t want to face
When everything you’ve done amounts to nothing but a waste
I’ll take you to my girl down the lane
You might feel like you’re losing, but she’ll win you just the same
