Song Lyrics

That cold sunny afternoon
I let you in on a secret
It was the very last secret left in camden town
I could see the sky through the windows
From the street where the fire took the roofs out

The trains ran softer than butter
Rappelled off the lines of the latter

I was drunk and I was blind
You said you didn't mind
I was blind and I was drunk
You didn't mind that's what you said

When I left you were still sleeping
Though morning that day started at six in the evening
I had to go and do my work again
I had to go and play
There was steam trains and seagulls
In my lungs
Children in the distance
In my lungs
I let out a cough
And when I coughed I laughed
And just for a second stopped breathing

I was drunk and I was blind
You said you didn't mind
I was blind and I was drunk
You didn't mind that's what you said

We just get thinner and thinner
We just get thinner and thinner
You and me we're not in this thing together
We just get thinner and thinner

I was drunk and I was blind
You said you didn't mind
I was blind and I was drunk
You didn't mind that's what you said
(That's what you said)

I was drunk and I was blind
You said you didn't mind
I was drunk and I was drunk and I was drunk, I was drunk
I was drunk
