Squeeze - Maidstone текст песни

(difford/tilbrook)

Warning: these lyrics are unconfirmed and may be inaccurate. they represent the best attempt at deciphering the song we have yet to see.

Supermarket lights burn in the darkness

The chilly winter nights bring the scarves from the drawer

A crowd starts to gather on paving stone squares

Teeth start to chatter as the staff leave the store

And daughters meet mothers and fathers meet sons

Its too dark to walk home without anyone

The shopping precincts closed, its like a graveyard

The chain falls through the spokes as I unlock my bike

I cycle to the pub where I meet with my friends

And I know that its love as she pours me my pint

And strangers meet strangers and friends share their lives

I look at her again and feel butterflies

I pull the pillow to my side

And I imagine it is her

As I slip into the night,

I know what I prefer

But I hope and I pray that one day she will say

Thats its true

I cant live without loving you

Now theres no one around I push the bike home

The rains a lovely sound as it runs down the path

Theres our lights in the road, they amber the night

And theres nobody home, so I soak in the bath

And bubbles meet bubbles as they become one

I think about the world and what I have done

I pull the pillow to my side etc

Supermarket lights burn in the darkness (repeat to fade)
