Lyrics

I know some friends of mine Think about them all the time Why can't my life be like that? I've seen them in the park Restauranting after dark Working out on their yoga mats Stars of the dance hall crowd Married young, took their vows Comfort in their boldness and their flair Dab hands for all to see Stroke of brush and poetry His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair Thank you for the invite tonight Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks I'm getting ideas from your interiors Perfect apartments, perfect kids [Chorus] Perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? Those perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? Don't make me feel so good Expect that stuff in Hollywood Not in my current milieu Sexual tension at the fridge He makes for the organic figs Belmondo lips, dangling a cig And she, just back from her hike And to the gallery she might Glide by with a basket on her bike (On her bike) They've got issues too but what can you do? Bad times, they'll always see them through It always lurked in her mind [Chorus] Perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? (In the back of her mind) Those perfect couples are now breaking up What have I done? (It always lurked in his mind) Those perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? (In the back of their minds) Those perfect couples, they keep breaking up What have I done? Never happy with my girl Jealous of a different world Suddenly the years slip away What am I waiting for? (I see those perfect couples and I) What makes me close the door? I see those perfect couples (Why can't I be like them?) I admire the most Finding fault with my heart (It's always been the same and then) And always back to the start What makes me get in the fray Then just throw it away Yeah, I throw it away Yes, I throw it away (Only to find) Yes, I throw it away (Only to find) Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples, how did they fail Perfect couples, they wind up in jail Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up They've got the issues too but they know just what to do? Bad times, they always saw them through From Hyndland to Hollywood, there they stand, they look so good Perfect couples, I'll show them to you Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up Perfect couples are breaking up The sun comes up in their coffee cup But perfect couples they keep breaking up They keep breaking up They couldn't agree on their organic produce They couldn't agree on the school for the kids They came in at night and didn't have anything to say to each other That's the price of perfection my friends Nothing to say
