For the Girl

Lyrics

[Refrain] La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la [Verse 1] Well she said, "I know but I just can't tell Everything that you've just been saying" Lucy was there as well in the dark When the kids in the band were playing No one could hear a word or tell What the girl was singing She just must've been 16 or 18 I'm just past caring [Chorus] She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses She was breaking my bones when I was busting their noses She would tell me a secret I would lose it the next day Young love pleases you easy Makes you sick in a bad way And all the while the girl sang La la la la, she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss And she said, "I can't love you anymore than this" [Refrain] La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la [Verse 2] Oh, she said, she said, "No no no no" Then again, "Yes, why don't you kill me?" I said, "Wait a minute, stop right there Sweetheart, you know that don't thrill me" Said, "I would've been in there If only you had been a little bit nicer" I was dead by Sunday Half dead skint just trying to please her [Chorus] She was getting me pills when I was into her best friend She was chasing the thrills and Living out in the West End She was pretty in places I lived under her window She said, "Take me to London Tell me something I don't know" And all the while the girl sang La la la la, she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss And she said, "I can't love you anymore than this" [Refrain] La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la [Chorus] She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses She was breaking my bones when I was busting their noses She would tell me a secret I would lose it the next day Young love pleases you easy Makes you sick in a bad way And all the while the girl sang La la la la, she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss [Outro] And she said, "I don't like you, you can't stand me I can't love you anymore than this"
