Slow Club - Trophy Room lyrics

rate me

September came real fast

Faster than the last

Are you alone?

Cause I'm alone

You got the key to our safe

Keep it secret for our sake

Or I'm gone

While I'm gone

You could hide it in your pillow

Or in an old doll's head

Underneath a tree somewhere

Or just swallow it instead

Cause Lord you know I've tried

Have I not?

And all these new friends stare and remind me

Of what I haven't got

Fifty thousand pounds

Stashed under the ground

I'll take you out

Now I can take you out

Secrets in the walls

Left there from before

They moved out

Why don't you come round?

And see my new reflection

In my brand new trophy room

We'll buy a ticket out of here

Maybe Rio de Janerio

Cause Lord you know I've tried

Have I not?

And all these new friends stare and remind me

Of what I haven't got

A brand new life in the sun

We'll go from beach to beach

It's just begun

It's just begun

What I thought was the start became the end

It turns out you just want to be my friend

You turn to me and say

'This was a nice holiday' (Nooooo)

And you can see my new reflection

As it crumbles to the floor

Another drink, oh, another chat

I've got friends in every port

Cause Lord you know I've tried

Have I not?

And all these new friends stare and remind me

Oh, but they do inspire me

Oh, will anybody take me home tonight?
