The 2 of Us - Suede

Lying in my bed I think of you

That song goes through my head the one we both knew

In each line lies another line full of sacred sound

But you’re outside where the companies dream and the money goes round

Lying in my bed.

Watching my mistakes

I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page

But you’re outside making permanent love to the nuclear age

Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance

It’s a tango for the lonely wives of the business class

Lying in my bed

Watching my mistakes

I listen to the band

Lying in my bed

With nothing much to say so I listen to the man

He said that it could be the 2 of us

I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound

And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round

Lying in my head watching my mistakes

I listen to the band

And the drums beat in my head

Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house

And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain

As I listen to the band?

As I sing the silent song

Mime each lonely word

Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us Alone but not lonely, you and me Alone but loaded…
