(n.b. this is the version from the amsterdam lp. the lyrics of other versions differ slightly.) Two hours twenty minutes To one, five past Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground And I've lost you I was cheated It was something belonged only to me And now it's gone through my own stupidity And I lost you I was cheated
Two whole years spent earning your love Now it's hanging around in the clouds Well I've lost you I was cheated I'm cheated by my own vanity
Whispering rumours, bullying me Well I spent it It wasn't worth it And for those who are not so beautiful as her Not giving excuses, but oh... When it's originally tossed away It can easily be reclaimed by her By her
All those years spent building myself up Trying to stop my staring And start taking two steps instead of one But they're so gone now
