Two Gallants - Drive My Car lyrics

rate me

You don't listen when he says, <br />

That you don't love him for his brain but for his head, <br />

So pretty and so safe and so misread, <br />

You don't need this kid, <br />

Could it be this kid', <br />

And when all the hate you throw, <br />

Is all you really need to cut him from below, <br />

Seems like everyone got tickets to the show, <br />

To watch your cheeks go red, <br />

Could it be this kid'<br />

<br />

But the girl you speak, so goddamn dangerous, <br />

Could it be you're just like the rest of us'<br />

And though you try you know you can't escape from us, <br />

When all he hears is the curse of what you did, <br />

And all he knows is the need to keep you hid.<br />

<br />

Could it be this kid?<br />

<br />

And when all your nights have come, <br />

Each as gallant and as faithless as this one.<br />

He be nothing more than just another one, <br />

Another past you hid.<br />

You hid it from this kid.<br />

<br />

And as the wind instains your face, <br />

You know there's no-one but yourself who's out of place.<br />

So fearful and so lost in his embrace.<br />

You don't need this kid.<br />

Could it be this kid'<br />

<br />

But the girl you speak, so goddamn dangerous, <br />

Could it be you're just like the rest of us'<br />

And though you try you know you can't escape from us, <br />

When all he hears is the curse of what you did, <br />

And all he knows is the need to keep you hid.<br />

<br />

Could it be this kid?<br />

<br />

'It's hard' she said 'my fortune's been quite hard'<br />

'It's hard' she said 'my fortune's been quite hard'<br />

'This card' he said 'don't play that victim card'<br />

'This card' he said 'don't play that victim card'<br />

'Stars' she said 'this fate is crossed with stars'<br />

'It's god' he said 'it's that I'll disregard'<br />

'This jar' he said 'I'll leave the door ajar'<br />

'This car' he said 'cos you should drive my car'<br />

<br />

'Has this gone much too far'' she said<br />

'Has this gone much too far''<br />

'I don't know who you are'<br />

'I don't know who you are'<br />

<br />

Just before you break in two, <br />

One last thing he'll say to you.<br />

One last thing that's<br />

<br />

I gave you more than you could take, <br />

All that? was more at stake.<br />

You keep your trophies on the wall, <br />

Well I'll take the door instead, <br />

Cos you don't need this kid.<br />

<br />

But the girl you speak, so goddamn dangerous, <br />

Could it be you're just like the rest of us'<br />

And though you try you know you can't escape from us, <br />

When all he hears is the curse of what you did, <br />

And all he knows is the need to keep you hid.<br />

<br />

Could it be this kid?
