Lloyd Cole - Grace lyrics

Jesse honey, is it hard to take Does it feel so bad to be 28 You were 23 and you could do anything Now, you open your mouth And spit the gutter out I was walking down by the River Thames I decided that I should throw me in Because you broke my heart And you made me weep In the name of your sensitivity Still, once you were an angel Did nobody tell you? Jesse honey, oh you look so pale and old And so very ill at ease, these days So you tell yourself that you'll never win And you drown your sins in amphetamine Do you weary so of that bitter taste So you spit it in my face Just to keep you entertained Well, I can only love you I have no option but to Is it hard to take, is it? Is it hard to swallow, is it? Is it hard to take from Grace? Once you were an angel Did nobody tell you? Jesse honey, is it hard to take Does it feel so bad to be 28 You were 23 and you could do anything Now, you open your mouth And you spit the gutter out Out in the summer rain You will begin again Out in the summer rain We will begin again
