Lyrics

I never I never meant to say you were a thorn in either side
It was a side effect from the scars on the forty-fives
And as the vinyl sticks, it reminds me of what we have
Despite the things you do, you know I'm a fool for you

They say a legal kiss is not as good as a stolen one
We put our lives on show and yet we sing to a different song
And from the bassinet to the graveside we never walk
Of everything I've lost, I miss my mind the most

I never once understood your dealings
A group of friends who I'd give what for
And I could name every crack on our ceiling
A sign of thorns
Am I a frame in your bigger picture?
A rope or rein for your stormy seas?
If I could be just a train fare richer
I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs
I'd change my needs
I'd change my needs

And in the half light a rush of violence is in the place
And if a look could kill you'd need a licence for your face
You say that love is blind
and I'm the one that restored your sight
The girl who never knows
The girl who never knows

I never once understood your dealings
A group of friends who I'd give what for
And I could name every crack on our ceiling
A sign of thorns
Am I a frame in your bigger picture?
A rope or rein for your stormy seas?
If I could be just a train fare richer
I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs
I'd change my needs
I'd change my needs
I'd change my needs
