La la la la la la...
Well she said I know but I just cant tell
Everything you've just been saying
Lucy was there aswell in the dark
The kids in the band were playing
No-one can hear a word or tell
What the girl was singing
See she mustav been 16 or 18
Im just past caring
She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was bursting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
Young love pleases you easy
Makes you sick in a bad way
And all the while the girls sang
La la la la and she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just dont miss
And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
Aww she said she said no no no no
Let me yes why don't you kill me
He asked him why you messed up right there
Sweetheart you know that don't thrill me
Said I would've been in there if only Id had been a little bit nicer
I was dead by Sunday half dead scared just trying to please her
She was getting the pills when
I was into her best friend
She was chasing the thrills
And living down at the West End
she was pretty in braces
I lived under her window
She said take me to London
Tell me something I don't know
And all the while the girls sang
La la la la she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss
And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"
La la la la la...
La la la la la...
La la la la la...
She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was bursting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
Young love pleases you easy
Makes you sick in a bad way
And all the while the girls sang
La la la la she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss
And she said I don't like you
You can't stand me
I can't love you anymore than this
