lyrics

I met you at the station and I kissed you at the station
And I walked with you through the crowded streets of some eastern town
I walked with you on the beach – well the wind was high and you were so in reach
And I loved you then, but I couldn’t say so then

Where’ve you been
How’ve you been

And I remember that beautiful December
When you gave me every reason that I ever had
You told me I was crazy comin’ up for just a day and I
Told you then and I’ll tell you again – I ain’t mad

You gave me that book with a sacred message in
But I haven’t read a word babe since we parted
You never wasted time – so I gave you some of mine
Even you threw it all away before we’d started

And I loved you in the morning with your kisses sweet and warming
And your head upon the pillow like a stone
But the day is nearly over and it’s left us all hungover
So I’ll meet you in the garden when the sun grows cold

And don’t you give me none of that useless information
About holidays in Europe in the summer with your friends
And turning tricks and teenage kicks and trying to get yourself a fix
It’s just another story babe that never seems to end

Well we put our faith in fellowships and self-help books and lunatics
The teachers and the preachers and the useless things they say
But I can’t say it took me by surprise when I finally came to realise
That restless discontentment is the modern English way

And we always sing the same old tune
We’re always howling at the moon
We always find ourselves marooned
We always turn up way too soon
We always end up on the floor
With a feeling we’ve been here before
But I wasn’t born to follow babe
And I will not do it anymore
