You told a few lies and they came back on you So you told a hundred more until she came back to you But she only stayed a while Just long enough to say the kind of things left to be said In the cold light of day And she smelled of Xmas trees, coffee and vanilla Calcutta after snowfall, she's no-one's stand in mother But I drifted into her like I could run myself aground And keep her smiling at the sight of the blackness spilling out And I don't mind if you don't care about it I'll get by without her arms around me As long as I can sit on my own In her coat and no knickers I believe it doesn't matter So don't look at me that way Like I should notice how you look at me that way That's just the way you look when you look at me that way and I believe it Doesn't matter At least not much anyway I never dreamed I could be lost in a place I know so well But I was running on the spot in the darkness 'til I fell And then pulling off my clothes I want to step out of my skin And paint a tattoo on my heart shows an arrow pointing in And I don't mind if you don't care about it I'll get by without her arms around me As long as I can sit on my own In her coat and no knickers I believe it doesn't matter So don't look at me that way Like I should notice how you look at me that way That's just the way you look when you look at me that way and I believe it Doesn't matter At least not much anyway
