Pulp – Street Lites lyrics

Album: We Love Life

Doorways
corners
and the street lights dance in your eyes
Behind the cinema
in therain
in the subway
where the walls crumble and cover you in fine dust
'cos wehaven't got a home to go to
touch me
on the back seat, on the top deck
talk dirty /on the back row
can you feel me
against you?

oh no
we shouldn't
we shouldn't /we shouldn't
I want to
...
mmmm...

What you gonna do
if you go home and he's notthere?

it wouldn't be the same if we didn't know it was wrong
oh touch me
and thengo wherever he takes you
oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow /Someone wants to watch by the side of Alena Stores
in the doorway, in the rain
Did hesee us?

Do you care?

Pull the night-time tight around us
and we can keep each otherwarm
while the cars drive by
en-route to dried-up dinners
and strip-lit kitchens andthe smell of gas and potato peelings
What you gonna do if you go home and he's notthere?

it wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong
oh touch me
and thengo wherever he takes you
oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehowyeah
We've got to go on meeting like this
I don't want to live with you or anywherenear you
I want to catch you unawares
undressing in front of a window maybe /impressed with those things I drive by
Did you see me?

Could you tell that I waswatching?

Did it make it feel better?

Yeah, it was good for me too
Did you thinkabout me?

Oh did you close your eyes?

Think that maybe
it was my hand that wastouching you
my breath against your face?

and when you opened your eyes
did theworld tip off its axis for a few seconds?

And you thought you'd caught a tiny glimpse ofsomeone?

Something here with it's shoulders moving towards you?

Yeah I did too
andit felt good
and it felt good
and it felt good
In a strange kind of way
in a waythat things that aren't supposed to feel good
sometimes do
oh take it away
yeah /What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?

it wouldn't be the same if youdidn't know it was wrong
oh touch me
and then go wherever he takes you
oh yeah leaveme
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow
What you gonna do if you go home and he'snot there?

it wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong
oh touch me
andthen go wherever he takes you
oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rainsomehow.e takes you
oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow.
