Tindersticks - Another Night In

*

“I’m going to tell you a story. Long ago, I lived on the even side of a street, at number 22. I gazed at the houses across the street, thinking the people were happier… Their rooms were sunnier… Their parties more fun. But in fact their rooms were darker and smaller. And they, too, gazed across the street. Because… We always think that luck is what we don’t have.”

Gabor (Daniel Auteuil) in “The Girl on the Bridge” (1999)

Greed’s all gone now, there’s no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears
Regain your balance

Doesn’t matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight

For the love of that girl
Greed’s all gone now, the panic subsides
When I could run, pulling arms to love her
Try to put myself on on the inside

For the love of that girl
Tears swell, you don’t know why
For the love of that girl
They never fall, they can never run dry

For the love of that girl

Promise is never over,
never questioned it needed reply
But she could breathe deep into my neck
Let me know I’m just on the outside

(Chorus)

Greed’s all gone now, there’s no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears
Regain your balance

Doesn’t matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight

For the love of that girl…
