[ti:Surface Of The Moon] [ar:Del Amitri] [al:Change Everything] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.01]Surface Of The Moon - Del Amitri [00:00.02]Written by：Justin Currie [00:00.04] [00:34.97]Snow in a soulless city covers up [00:39.84]The cracks in the road [00:41.99] [00:42.69]As a wastrel buys her cigarettes [00:46.40] [00:46.98]And wipes her pretty nose [00:49.75] [00:50.78]Like a part-time Elvis imitator [00:55.19]These streets I knew so well [00:58.48]Have been pasted beyond recognition [01:03.01]With a temporary smell [01:06.08] [01:07.10]Now the midnight train eases [01:10.40]Out leaving everyone marooned [01:15.40] [01:17.61]And without her it might [01:20.37]As well be the surface of the moon [01:25.17] [01:39.40]From the well-swept streets of [01:41.84]Jackson Heights to the dockside drudgery [01:47.26] [01:48.29]Everything's now a replica of [01:52.55]What it used to be [01:54.82] [01:55.66]But since they tarted up the trenches [01:59.10] [01:59.74]And painted the bridges blue [02:03.33] [02:04.02]It seems less like a home to me than [02:08.14]Just a place they bury you [02:11.18] [02:11.93]Now we're lit up like a cathedral in [02:16.01]Our frozen concrete ruin [02:20.26] [02:22.87]And without her it might [02:25.47]As well be the surface of the moon [02:29.94] [02:32.41]So I need her and I love her that is true [02:37.81] [02:40.45]But I'm stuck here like some [02:42.82]Shipwreck still holding on to you [02:47.80] [02:48.55]When they beat out the tramps [02:51.06]And patch up the slums [02:53.01]Everything will be fine [02:55.98] [02:56.73]There'll be a new facade for us to hide behind [03:02.51] [03:17.06]So on the ancient trails of our coupling [03:21.54]In the places we used to meet [03:24.61] [03:25.11]I am amazed by the lack of memories [03:29.14]That I thought would flood through me [03:32.57] [03:33.72]And the riverside [03:35.51]Where we first kissed has now been reduced [03:41.38]To a phoney old world market [03:44.92] [03:45.56]Where only shoppers get seduced [03:48.93] [03:49.64]Now your arms embrace me strangely [03:53.44]In your unfamiliar room [03:58.03] [04:00.12]And for all I care it might [04:02.81]As well be the surface of the moon [04:07.42] [04:08.22]Yeah for all I care it might [04:11.09]As well be the surface of the moon
