[ti:Four Flights Up] [ar:Lloyd Cole And The Commotions] [al:Rattlesnakes] [offset:0] [00:12.20]I was woken up at 4am [00:14.32]By your screams and anguished cries, [00:16.45]Your mother was singing in the bathroom, [00:18.64]She will never be my child, [00:23.14]Oh baby talks in her sleep so loud. [00:28.51]We're living four flights up but I swear right now it feels like underground. [00:32.51] [00:36.93]Well you have absolutely no common sense, [00:39.43]Yes I know that's your charm, [00:41.12]You spend the whole day on the phone, [00:43.18]You say well it helps you stay calm, [00:46.56]You cling to my arm, yes I know that's your charm. [00:53.31]And when I ask you what you want, [00:55.43]You say "Do you mind hey crocodile?" [00:57.56]Well then could you give me some peace, [00:59.63]You say "Well, maybe for a while", [01:03.18]Sometimes you know you could almost be a child. [01:06.24] [01:09.87]Oh must you tell me all your secrets, [01:11.99]When it’s hard enough to love you knowing nothing? [01:18.38]We’re living four flights up, [01:20.56]But I swear right now it feels like underground. [01:28.37]You are your own worst enemy, [01:30.38]So don't expect my sympathy, [01:32.50]Oh go back to your mother's house, [01:34.87]Snd cry your little heart out. [01:41.00]You can drive them back to town, [01:42.75]In a beat-up Grace Kelly car, [01:44.81]Looking like a friend of Truman Capote, [01:47.25]Looking exactly like you are, [01:51.88]Yes, yes I know that's your charm. [01:57.18]So don't ask me if I want you, [01:59.31]Only ask me if I must, [02:01.50]I been blown around so long, [02:03.69]Don't know which senses to trust, [02:07.51]Oh no, but I know that I must. [02:13.96]Oh must you tell me all your secrets, [02:15.95]When it’s hard enough to love you knowing nothing? [02:22.46]We're living four flights up, [02:24.39]But I swear right now it feels like underground.
