lyrics

big fur coats, it's some new fad
it doesn't keep out the damp and it looks bad
they line up outside the clubs, they wonder who made blues
they get drunk and vomit on each other's shoes
on hythe bridge street in the dead of night
they hang over the river like birds in flight
they shout and they sing as they march up the turl
they could do anything, they're not afraid of the world

i don't remember
if i was ever
as young and as dumb as them
but what oh what
wouldn't i give
to have it back again

temperature drops but it'll never snow
nothing left to learn that i would want to know
nothing left to say that could make me speak
forecast says it's gonna rain all week
and if it rains all week, then i'll just stay inside
i should head out now, try to glimpse the sky

and i had better
take a sweater
cause the weather will only get worse
the clouds can try
to hold it all inside
but something has got to burst

can't make something
out of nothing
i know that i'm getting worse
no traces left
in this heartless breast
of the way i loved at first

can't get somewhere
out of nowhere
i know that i'm getting worse
no signals sound
no survivors found
of this all-devouring curse

can't make something
out of nothing
i know that i'm getting worse
no traces left
in this heartless breast
of the way i loved at first
