Southland Tales movie - Forget Myself lyrics

rate me

Song by Elbow<br /><br>

They're pacing Piccadilly in packs again<br>

And moaning for the mercy of a never come rain<br>

The suns had enough and the simmering sky<br>

Has the heave and the hue of a woman on fire<br>

<br>

Shop shutters rattle down and I'm cutting the crowd<br>

All scented and descending from the satellite towns<br>

The neon is graffiti singing make a new start<br>

So I look for a plot where I can bury my broken heart<br>

<br>

No, I know I won't forget you<br>

But I'll forget myself, if the city will forgive me<br>

<br>

The man on the door has a head like Mars<br>

Like a baby born to the doors of the bars<br>

And surrounded by steam with his folded arms<br>

He's got that urban genie thing going on<br>

<br>

He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace<br>

Saint Peter in satin, he's like Buddha with mace<br>

He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace<br>

Saint Peter in satin, he's like Buddha with mace<br>

<br>

No, I know I won't forget you<br>

But I'll forget myself, if the city will forgive me<br>

No, I know I won't forget you<br>

But I'll forget myself, if the city will forgive me<br>

<br>

Do you move through the room with a glass in your hand<br>

Thinking too hard about the way you stand<br>

Are you watching them pair off and drinking them long<br>

Are you falling in love every second song<br>

<br>

Do you move through the room with a glass in your hand<br>

Thinking too hard about the way you stand<br>

Are you watching them pair off and drinking them long<br>

Are you falling in love...<br>

Are you falling in love...<br>

Are you falling in love every second song<br>

<br>

No, I know I won't forget you<br>

But I'll forget myself, and the city will forgive me<br>

<br>
