Lyrics
Tissue Shoulders
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never cry on your own, never cry
But when you cry
Just try and find some perfect stranger with the tissue shoulders on
'Cos I know the score and it's hard when it's her your crying for
Never go on your own, never go
But when you go
Just try to find someone or other with the GPS turned on
'Cos I've been here before and it's hard when it's her your crying for
So take her and lay her in the ground
I'll be here waiting so patiently not making a song
Don't want to lie alone
I'll find another with a shoestring loveheart thong
