Four Flights Up - Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

作词：Lloyd Cole/Lawrence Donegan

作曲：Lloyd Cole/Lawrence Donegan

I was woken up at 4am

By your screams and anguished cries

Your mother was singing in the bathroom

She will never be my child

Oh baby talks in her sleep so loud

We're living four flights up

but I swear right now it feels like underground

Well you have absolutely no common sense

Yes I know that's your charm

You spend the whole day on the phone

You say well it helps you stay calm

You cling to my arm yes I know that's your charm

And when I ask you what you want

You say Do you mind hey crocodile

Well then could you give me some peace

You say Well maybe for a while

Sometimes you know you could almost be a child

Oh must you tell me all your secrets

When it s hard enough to

love you knowing nothing

We re living four flights up

But I swear right now it feels like underground

You are your own worst enemy

So don't expect my sympathy

Oh go back to your mother's house

Snd cry your little heart out

You can drive them back to town

In a beat-up Grace Kelly car

Looking like a friend of Truman Capote

Looking exactly like you are

Yes yes I know that's your charm

So don't ask me if I want you

Only ask me if I must

I been blown around so long

Don't know which senses to trust

Oh no but I know that I must

Oh must you tell me all your secrets

When it s hard enough to

love you knowing nothing

We're living four flights up

But I swear right now it feels like underground
