Redcoats

Every time i reach into my pocket

i find your number on a pack of matches

i can't expect you to understand

You used to keep my picture in your locket

while at my border all your troops lined up for action

now i just want someone to hold my hand

You could've warned me

you could've said

"here come the redcoats

with their coats all red

all along

all along

all along the promenade

the promenade"

that would've been good

Instead you said that one thing

that thing you said

that i forgot

i forgot

i forgot

was kind of odd

kind of odd

that would've been...

We were created in a crumbling lab

by a maker with a shaky hand

and a pension for truant love

And if you think about that

it makes sense

You could've warned me

you could've said

"here come the redcoats

with their coats all red

all along

all along

all along the promenade

the promenade"

that would've been good

Instead you said that one thing

that thing you said

that i forgot

i forgot

i forgot

was kind of odd

kind of odd

that would've been good

Oh, baby,

i want to take you home

but i can't cuz i'm home ((less))

home ((less))

home ((less)home ((less)))

oh, honey,

i'm holding on to hope

but it's hard cuz i'm hope ((less))

hope ((less))

hope ((less))

hope ((less))

You could've warned me

you could've said

"here come the redcoats

with their coats all red

all along

all along

all along the promenade

the promenade"

that would've been good

Instead you said that one thing

that thing you said

that i forgot

i forgot

i forgot

was kind of odd

kind of odd

that would've been good

Oh, i guess that i could fall for you...'cause i fall for all kinds of bad chicks.
