Rough Trade Records - Hiding Neath My Umbrella lyrics

Hiding neath my umbrella Agreeable kind of fella And take the safest route Through all kinds of weather Don't commit to love And don't commit a crime Worthless pa**ion in your mind The thrills that you're imagining Are a waste of your time You sad individual I'm not the one for you You'll never do Time takes a mouthful of memory Two spoonfuls You forget everything Life could be musical comedy Prop-like street lighting Awaiting your swing Place your bets I'll place mine now I will bet on your heart to win I've got a feeling the weather is changing And my luck is in So what about the conversation Heartfelt revelation But then you realize We are the diplomats Talks are breaking down Love is leaving town Talk yourself into a corner Skip the rope and go abroad, dear What's the attraction? Follow the action But you're getting old I can see the lines form on your face Place your bets I'll place mine now I've got a feeling the weather is changing so Place your bets I'll place mine now I've got a feeling the weather is changing so Place your bets I'll place mine now I will bet on your heart to win I will bet on your heart to win I've got a feeling the weather is changing And my luck is in My luck is in
