The Cat Empire - So Many Nights lyrics

It doesn't matter what I say It doesn't matter what I do It seems I'm gonna have to change my look for you cos I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far And I think that we could float from evening to the stars When I see you in the distance with your friends I look around and then I look down at my threads It's inappropriate that I should present like a Retired matador with unpaid rent So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights you step in and I walk through So he doesn't care 'cept he still combs his hair So what am I supposed to do? I bought a suit and I bought a top hat And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks Went to the barber got my hair cut high And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight But when and I see you, your bodice and your pride It's nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides You say 'good evening' you don't say 'good night' And I can't deny that So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights until I changed my suit And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair Cos I found what to do Put your waistcoat on Put your waistcoat on So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights you stepped in as I walked through So he doesn't care 'cept he still combed his hair So what was I supposed to do? So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights until I changed my suit And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair Cos I found what to do Put your waistcoat on (Doesn't matter what I say, doesn't really matter what I do) Put your waistcoat on (I'm gonna have to - I'm gonna have to change my look for you) Put your waistcoat on Put your waistcoat on
