lyrics

Anybody Else (The Glove)

Goodbye from the guys, everybody told me to tell you
They say goodbye
Say hello to the girls, I know that none of them
really trust me
But I don’t care
You take the photos, I’m leaving on a slow boat
But I hope that you know you weren’t just like anybody else
You showed me the bars, all your pals down by the river
And the canals
Nobodies and stars, the local sub-cultural icons
We had a bacchanal
And in your bedroom between the bodies
and the blue fumes
Something was so smooth, I had to have a taste
just for myself
And in the morning amid the coffee and the coughing
I felt a warning you weren’t just like anybody else
You wore purple and green, crimson and platinum
bleached blonde
And I wore black
Your diary’s clean
But I swiped your glove from our freak scene
And I’ll never give it back
Your glove
