Song Lyrics

I used to live around here
I was the boy with the flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
I saw her at The Place
You know she knows you know
How she shakes when she jacks her body
To the sounds of Orange Juice Jones and
Jocelyn Brown
Oh

Spread your wings before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is, darlin'
Follow your heart

So she walks into this dead end bar
Sticks her hand bag on the chair
So she walks into this dead end bar
Puts hers hand bag on the chair
And she weighs the words we shared
When we were 15 and still cared
Cos she feels I'm a scar from the wound that time can't heal

And I said
Don't let your dreams fall out of your head
Stick it to the man instead
Don't fool your heart lying about
The feelings that you had back then
Did you try to change your life
Did you ever try to change your life
You repeat and repeat
and repeat (and repeat)
Now what's up with that?

Now she loves somebody else
In flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
And now she paid to have one of those

And she weighs the word she says
And she knows you exist
Now she feels I'm the scar from the wound
That time can't heal
Oh

Spread your wings before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is, darlin'
Follow your heart

Spread your wings before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is, darlin'
Follow your heart

Heart, heart, heart
