Lyrics

[Intro] Can't have it [Verse 1] I saw two shadow men on the Vallance Road They said they'd pay me for your address Oh, I was so bold I said, "You see these two cold fingers? These crooked fingers I show?" You a way to mean no Well, they didn't like that much, I can tell you He said, "Sunshine, I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes" Then they chased me up three flights of stairs Caught me in the lift, I sighed and said "Hello," but you're impossible [Chorus] And it's just like he's in another world He doesn't see the danger on show Now he'll wind up like Joseph, bloody in a hole It's just like she's in another world You know they suit each other, oh, no 'Cause you never get close It's impossible [Verse 2] Saw the same two men on the Cally Road Said now they double their offer, I was so bold To say, "You see these two cold fingers, I know These crooked fingers, I show Oh, you's a way to mean no" [Chorus] But it's just like he's in another world He doesn't see the danger on show And he'll end up like Joseph, bloody in a hole It's just like she's in another world And now they suit each other, oh, no But you never get close (Crazy, no, no, no, unstoppable) [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Fuck off [Chorus] But it's just like we're all in another world And how we suit each other, oh, no But you never get close That's close enough now
