The Xcerts - Aberdeen 1987 lyrics

(Telephone message) Hey you, do you remember me? Fifteen sitting in a graveyard talking about the history Are you sleeping well at night? Your eyes are closed and the window's down but your thoughts are not in flight Let the girl sleep off her pain Her thoughts collide like waves A voice is in her head And this is what it said: I'm your new best friend Yeah I'm your new haircut Yeah I'm the alcohol that burns down your neck and into your gut And now it's cold outside And your screams are loud And I'm trying to wrap up I find it hard as I stumble to the ground Hey you, do you remember me? Seventeen lying on a bed now we're making history Did you hear the news today? I'm leaving home with the letter torn straight from an empty case Let the families say goodbye On such a withered night The boy will learn to talk And Simon won't hide I'm your new best friend Yeah I'm your new haircut Yeah I'm the alcohol that burns down your neck and into your gut And now it's cold outside And your screams are loud And I'm trying to wrap up I find it hard as I stumble to the ground Hey you, do you still think of me? Nineteen sitting on a beach Clutching a bottle of history Are you still singing songs at night? I heard that one that you wrote for me how can false words sound so pretty Let the voice out their pain Let the dreams just slip away Let the liars howl at night Under darkened lamplight I'm your new best friend Yeah I'm your new haircut Yeah I'm the alcohol that burns down your neck and into your gut And now it's cold outside And your screams are loud And I'm trying to wrap up I find it hard as I stumble to the ground I'm your new best friend Yeah I'm your new haircut Yeah I'm the alcohol that burns down your neck and into your gut And now it's cold outside And your screams are loud And I'm trying to wrap up I find it hard as I stumble to the ground
