You sauntered up and you said, ‽How's tricks?â€
You can't mix drugs with politics
But we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
In this distinct and beautiful collide
We drag each other's worlds down under the tide
Cold, cold hearts and well-laid plans
As the days like the waves
La, la, la la la, keep it on
How do we escape the great pails of pouring rain?
Go to a foreign island or a house in Spain
Going, la le la le la le, oh
So, erect the girders and rivets in
A life of buildings and medicine
Well, we all make the same mistakes
Our pitfalls pull us together
As the days like the waves
La, la, la la la, keep it on
We kicked this â€~round my bedroom floor
Had the daylight hours but you wanted more
But the time, the time has drifted away
As the days like the waves
La, la, la la la, keep it on
And on, and on, on and on, and on
There's friends for life and acquaintances
There's romance from great distances
There's been so many casualties
But I cannot wallow over these, oh no More from Dirty Pretty Things
