the distractions - boots lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
at night the world just leaves us
to drugs i’ve never heard of
in twice-used hypodermics
and multicoloured pills
though i don’t yet speak the language
of the local population
they say that i was born here
the smell makes me feel ill

[chorus]
so with an extra pound in every stone, more feet in every yard
who’d’ve thought that coming back would be so hard?
though going forward isn’t easier, i’m best at standing still
and i’ve yet to find a pair of boots to fill

[verse 2]
i think we must’ve met here
her face looks so familiar
she married for convenience
to keep the pack at bay;
while a floating population
of disappointed locals
merge into stark blank faces
as the outro starts to play

[chorus]
so with an extra pound in every stone, more feet in every yard
who’d’ve thought that coming back would be so hard?
though going forward isn’t easier, i’m best at standing still
and i’ve yet to find a pair of boots to fill

[middle]
i don’t close my eyes much lately
there’ll be time enough for that
i take readings of my heartbeat
every day
although some acts can’t be forgiven
and some can’t be forgotten
i really don’t remember
why it mattered anyway

[chorus]
so with an extra pound in every stone, more feet in every yard
who’d’ve thought that coming back would be so hard?
though going forward isn’t easier, i’m best at standing still
and i’ve yet to find a pair of boots to fill
