Clarinet Songtext

von The Delgados

**Very unsure of a number of these lines. Feel free to correct me.**

Take the easy way out, and I'll meet you at my loft
Faking intimacy is an artform of mine
Say hello, say goodbye, say whatever I'm feeling
Fingers crossed; there's no point to these lies
'Cause you're getting nothing 'cause everything's lies

Don't be scared in the morning
Just be scared for tonight
Lonely girls live for longing
They wish; they dream.

Hanging out of my window at dawn at the week end
Onion badges, the bird's chariot is alright (?)
These are times I can't see now when we are together
It's not crass; I'm not talking of doves
It's just I'm afraid I forgot what I love

Don't be scared in the morning
Just be scared for tonight
Lonely girls live for longing
They wish and they dream but they live, they must fly

No, I won't be your friend
And I'll die if you're right
I've had friends who are shy
But a token appears by my head anymore
Silver coins land on the floor

Let's go out for the night, get some chips the car
Tell me what you've been reading, the day and the TV
Make me laugh for awhile when I fret
And make me remember; I cannot forget

Don't be scared in the morning
Just be scared for tonight
Lonely girls live for longing
They wish and they dream but to live they must fly

No, I won't be your friend
And I'll die if you're right
I've had friends who are shy
But I tale my peers by my head anymore (?)
Silver coins land on the floor
