Lyrics:

Well she said I know, but I just can't tell
Everything that you've just been saying
Lucy was there as well in the dark
When the kids in the band were playing

No one can hear a word or tell
What the girl was singing
See, she must've been 16 or 18
I'm just past caring

She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was busting their noses

She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
You're not pleased that you're 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 don't miss
And she said 'I can't love you any more than this!'

She said, she said, oh no no no no
Then I get a yes why don't you kill me
I said when I'm messed up like this
Sweetheart you know that don't thrill me

Said I would've been there
If only I had been a little bit nicer
I was dead by Sunday
Half past skint just trying to please her

She was getting me 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 any more than this.'

She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was busting their noses

She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
You're not pleased that you're 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.'
