lyrics

Kiss of her, I won't share.
Flicking through her flame red hair.
The fat boy in the corner sings,
Of mortgage plans & engagement rings.
Kiss of me, I don't understand.
Pull the nails out of my hands.
Find herself new pictures to paint.
I never was the uncertain saint.

(chorus)
Text, comma, full-stop. x4
I won't know how to tell you -
so write your own.
I won't know how to tell you.
Text, comma, full-stop.

French cigarettes and English tea.
Girl over there looks half like me.
Lifting lines and making plans.
Not speaking like the fortune bands.
And these things I do, I won't no more.
If I lie to you - that's what I'm for.
Corner tables, empty pints.
Half-written songs on Marlboro Lights.

(chorus)

(outro) Write your own.
Then leave us alone.
Forget and try the words.
It only makes them worse.
