Sweet Sweet Lies - Capital Of Iceland lyrics

So we’re over and I’m glad I won’t look back on what we had Because you wanted misery, Grieving and the d**h of me Now you’ll see I’m all grown up Don’t prefer this to my age Noticing her in the wings Another girl moves centre stage She is tall and much prettier Picked from my select committee And she knows the capital of Iceland She’ll sing in key and play guitar Love Johnny Cash and Johnny Marr And I’ll know exactly where I stand and with who She’s a better you Now I’m going out to think And dance about and drink and drink And go where you would not allow Burn all of my bridges down If you’re smart you’ll stay indoors Keep from me what I abhor I’ll be happy you’ll be sad You’ll have regrets you wish you had She is tall and much more pretty Picked from my select committee And she knows the capital of Iceland She’ll sing in key and play guitar Love Johnny Cash and Johnny Marr And I’ll know exactly where I stand and with who She’s a better you Just so as we’re clear on this To live as one, to live in bliss Is all that I aspire to now I’ll pack up and leave this town Take it from me, all my fight Lost when you took back the night I’ll never write I’ll never phone Tell them that I died alone I now feel it’s appropriate That you should be dismissed I wish that I had knives for lips To cut you as we kissed I wish for personality That I could then dissect And a rope made of your pretty hair To tie around your neck She is tall and much more pretty Picked from my select committee And she knows the capital of Iceland She’ll sing in key and play guitar Love Johnny Cash and Johnny Marr And I’ll know exactly where I stand and with who When I’m over you
