Kicks Or Consumption - Dirty Pretty Things

After a month our friendship wained

Cos you’re ambitions to a fault

Why did I let you in my brain?

Just look in these western eyes

I’ve been lost a time or two

Not knowing what is evil, oh

Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow

Nothing left for you but kicks or consumption

Thought Japan was out of bounds

But oh, the boys just got to town

Oh no and it’s happening again

You and I have fallen out again

Empty skirts to the number ones

Why do I humour you in vain?

Just look in these western eyes

I’ve been lost a time or two

Not knowing what is evil, oh

Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow

Nothing left for you but kicks or consumption

I was clawing at the windows when the wheels came off

European playground turned out far too much

She tells me other people get the best of me

So maybe she will never get the best of me

There must be a devil at the BBC

I’ve been lost a time or two

Not knowing what is evil, oh

Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow

Nothing left for you but kicks or consumption
