alternative girlfriend þarký sözü

words & music by stephen duffy & steven page

you´re in an all-girl band
your futon´s second hand
your parents understand but you don´t care
i have a job in a shop
i´m an undercover cop
i make sure the customers aren´t thieves
old at being young
young at being old
everything´s on hold within our evolution

chorus:
you´re my alternative girlfriend
i love you, and now you cannot pretend
there´s nothing left that won´t cross over

last night we slept on the lawn
you woke up and i was gone
back to the dream i dream to leave
my life with her is a bore
a worn-out metaphor
no more surprises up its sleeve
we´re old at being young
young at being old
everything´s been sold to other´s revolutions

chorus

you live above your dad´s four-car garage
with your vinyl and imaginary entourage
if i pull up in a u-haul, pack up quick
so we can get out of this town ´cause it makes me sick

chorus
