Surface Of The Moon - Del Amitri[00:00:00]
Written by:Justin Currie[00:00:00]
Snow in a soulless city covers up[00:00:34]
The cracks in the road[00:00:39]
As a wastrel buys her cigarettes[00:00:42]
And wipes her pretty nose[00:00:46]
Like a part-time Elvis imitator[00:00:50]
These streets I knew so well[00:00:55]
Have been pasted beyond recognition[00:00:58]
With a temporary smell[00:01:03]
Now the midnight train eases[00:01:07]
Out leaving everyone marooned[00:01:10]
And without her it might[00:01:17]
As well be the surface of the moon[00:01:20]
From the well-swept streets of[00:01:39]
Jackson Heights to the dockside drudgery[00:01:41]
Everything's now a replica of[00:01:48]
What it used to be[00:01:52]
But since they tarted up the trenches[00:01:55]
And painted the bridges blue[00:01:59]
It seems less like a home to me than[00:02:04]
Just a place they bury you[00:02:08]
Now we're lit up like a cathedral in[00:02:11]
Our frozen concrete ruin[00:02:16]
And without her it might[00:02:22]
As well be the surface of the moon[00:02:25]
So I need her and I love her that is true[00:02:32]
But I'm stuck here like some[00:02:40]
Shipwreck still holding on to you[00:02:42]
When they beat out the tramps[00:02:48]
And patch up the slums[00:02:51]
Everything will be fine[00:02:53]
There'll be a new facade for us to hide behind[00:02:56]
So on the ancient trails of our coupling[00:03:17]
In the places we used to meet[00:03:21]
I am amazed by the lack of memories[00:03:25]
That I thought would flood through me[00:03:29]
And the riverside[00:03:33]
Where we first kissed has now been reduced[00:03:35]
To a phoney old world market[00:03:41]
Where only shoppers get seduced[00:03:45]
Now your arms embrace me strangely[00:03:49]
In your unfamiliar room[00:03:53]
And for all I care it might[00:04:00]
As well be the surface of the moon[00:04:02]
Yeah for all I care it might[00:04:08]
As well be the surface of the moon[00:04:11]
