stephen duffy – twenty three lyrics
i moved to town at 23
and launched myself in society
from a squat in archway, n19
looking for a thrill
i fell in love with ecstasy
which seemed to fuel my vanity
i swore to write just poetry
and live upon a hill
it wasn’t her my love, it was me
looking for another way to see
looking for another place to be
i sang my songs of birmingham
how did you relate to them?
did you dig the proleterian way
i got it wrong?
i bet you never thought i’d dream of you
more than that i’d fall for you
walk just to b-mp into you
like you b-mped into this song
and i’d betray my childhood
betray my cl-ss if i could
for a moment truly understood
a reason to believe
in ornamental flower beds
there in blooms the memory
of all those who can’t come back to me
the love we have to leave
