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.'
