THE SMITH STREET BAND LYRICS

"My New Dress Up Shoes"

You told me in the beer garden that I had changed your life,
I laughed at my new dress up shoes and thought, "He's a lucky guy"
It wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be to see your arms around his boney, boney body,
And in your mother's hatchback with the windows rolled down,
my dear, you were a fucking joy to be around,
But if I'm gonna make anything of myself, I don't wanna do it alone,
Sitting behind a grey desk, staring at a whitewashed wall,
tasting last night's amyl every time I talk,
And my brain cracks, my head slips back, my hearts skips beats for a minute
and you're softly, softly telling me to just breathe in, breathe out

If this isn't a body for true love, then I'll slowly cut it down,
To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest is becoming an impossible dream now,
And I've been dancing past your skinny bodies at the door of a million parties,
And I burst out shivering under the night sky and I wish that I was warm in bed with you,
Wish I was warm with you, I wish I was allowed with you,
And if we go away then we'll just come back

Last winter everything was just so perfect, making castles in your bungalow and holding you from your parents,
And no matter how it ended, I'm so glad it happened, you are an amazing person and you'll do amazing things,
You'll do amazing things, but I won't come back

If this isn't a body for true love, then I'll slowly cut it down,
To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest is becoming and impossible dream now,
And I've been dancing past your skinny body at the door of the party,
And I burst out shivering under the night sky and I'm wishing I was warm in bed with you,
Wish I was warm with you, I wish I was allowed with you,
And if we go away then we'll just come back
