Plastic Wood - Lloyd Cole

Our conversation was short and sweet

It nearly swept me off-a my feet

And I’m back in the rain oh oh

And you’re on dry land

You made it there somehow

You’re a big girl now.

Bird on the horizon sitting on the fence

He’s singing his song for me at his own expense

And I’m just like that bird oh oh

Singing just for you

I hope that you can hear

Hear me singing through these tears.

Time is a jet plane it moves so fast

Oh but what a shame if all we’ve shared can’t last

I can change I swear oh oh

See what you can do

I can make it through

You can make it too.

Love is so simple to quote a phrase

You’ve known it all the time I’m learning it these days

Oh I know where I can find you oh oh

In somebody’s room

It’s a price I had to pay

You’re a big girl all the way.

A change in the weather is known to be extreme

But what’s the sense of changing horses in midstream?

I’m going out of my mind oh oh

With a pain that stops and starts

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we’ve been apart.
