Stripper's Union - Everybody Knows The Words Songtexte

Like a painting, where the sky's too blue
I'm imitating only the best parts of you
I play you in that light, I sing but I can't write
So I pretend I sang it first and everybody knows the words (So I pretend I sang it first and everybody knows the words)

I have the haircut and the Chelsea boots (Chelsea boots)
When there's catering, it gets tight in the '64 suit
I behave as you behave in a show you never gave (Behave as you behave in a show you never gave)
Chorus, bridge and verse; everybody knows the words (Chorus, bridge and verse; everybody knows the words)

I looked a lot like you, it was easy to play into what came easy to me
So I studied your moves and turned into your ghost
Didn't get far, but I played it left hand
Musician's personals: "bass player has own band" (Musician's personals: "bass player has own band")
When I was born your time was through, now it's my generation too (When I was born your time was through, now it's my generation too)
I care so I rehearse, cause everybody knows the words (I care so I rehearse, cause everybody knows the words)

Everybody knows the melody (Everybody knows the melody)
And you need it more than me (And you need it more than me)
I love it but it hurts, everybody knows the words (I love it but it hurts, everybody knows the words)
