This Side Of The Morning - Del Amitri

作词：Justin Currie

作曲：Justin Currie

Nobody's perfect and that's something that

I'm sure she'll know

Cause trying to tell her lies

From the truth at times

Is like trying to divide ice from snow

And when I knew it was over

I jumped into a taxi

And said Just guess where to go

And the driver turned about and said

Finding what you want is like

Trying to divide ice from snow

So here I sit rolling back to bed

Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed

But from this side of the morning

I couldn't care less I couldn't care less

And nobody's helpless although

I've never felt this helpless before

And trying to persuade myself

Not to think about her

Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour

So I put down the bottle

While in my head time is collapsing

And the currents run cold

So I can curse her memory

But don't try telling me that she was not

An emerald in a mountain of coal

Or that a crock of cures for cancer

At the end of the rainbow

So here I sit rolling back to bed

Knowing love's a hazard

That I'd never guessed

But from this side of the morning

I couldn't care less

She's the kind of girl who won't forgive

But will forget

So take me from this party driver

Put me back to bed

I wanted to be loved

But just got laughed at instead

So if this taxi is for hire

I'll get in the back

Just to fear the friction of

The tarmac and the tyres

So nobody's perfect and that's something

That I'm sure she'll know

Trying to persuade myself

Not to think about her is like

Trying to tell the cockerels not to crow

Or like trying to tell the striker

Not to think about the goal

So here I sit rolling back to bed

Knowing love's a hazard

That'd I'd never guessed

But from this side of the morning

Yeah from this side of the morning

Yeah from this side of the morning

I couldn't care less
