Frank Turner - Good & Gone lyrics

rate me

I have searched for you

In the darkness of a dozen dingy dance floors

Countless queues in cafes in the suburbs

In the bed clothes of a thousand stranger's bedrooms

And I have yearned for you

In the airless hubs of international airports

In the hollow hell of many hundred hotels

In the solitary stillness of the early hours

I still do

Sometimes the things you need

Are right back where you started from

So fuck you Hollywood

For teaching us love was free and easy

For dressing all our daughters as princesses

For telling tales where all have happy endings

Fuck you Motley Crue

Turning tales of access and excess

Spinning yards left out on the dark sides

Hanging out all along this time with everyone

Oh, fuck you

Sometimes the things you need

Are right back where you started from

Sometimes the things you need

They hang around a little while

Good and gone

If I could just have a second try

To take the second call you made that night

To find myself an airport, find a credit card

Find a flight or something

To head back to the start

Sometimes the things I need

Are right back where I started from

Sometimes the things I need

They hang around a little while

Good and gone

Yes, they're good and gone
