Johnny Foreigner - The Swell/Like Neverwhere lyrics

[The Swell] (You got yourself a whole new life and all i've got is half this old one In a whisper disguised as a snowflake, I wish to be remembered to you in a whisper, like a snowflake I wish to be remembered to you Beat the living cities out of me and spoilt my progress and let me be This year it's taxes and I can see its going to be a long one You've got a face for this and drawers for eyes You slipped through our last kiss, and I can see its going to be a long one She's beginning to take on water and she's beginning on this years taxes She's beginning to listen to what I tell her She's picking up and going backwards to the beginning She is hunting for the right words in white dresses like I heard you say it the first time Like I got no reason to be kind now but it ate a hole in my heart and now you're leaning over to turn the radio up I stay out on your estate house This year it's Texas She's hunting for the right words but I dont want to know.) [Like Neverwhere] The girls who turned us down in nightclubs Are now pushing prams around the city centre And they swear it's now over Well, it sure looks over from here Would you believe our skyline's stolen Trail the queues and you'll know no one Say there's more to giving up than another burnt-out club And those glazed eyes! Balconies, housewarming season Hung with the scene girls, mostly freezing She said it looks a little like Brooklyn, and I just laughed I thought you'd given it up (Oh how it's never enough) How you know you're getting old when you're happy to be getting old And those glazed eyes! That's when I got kind of bored Swam out of the bills And oved abroad It gets kinda blurred But my legs got burned in the bare sun The burns got covered in bites And all those public fights were too much Those glazed eyes I miss you at 19 getting ID'd and angry I miss you at 19 staring out Digbeth High Street
