Everything But The Girl

Hatfield 1980

Everything But The Girl


Suburbia, 1 am, you're walking home again 
shopping bags and broken glass 
I hate going through the underpass 
I wish there was some other way around 
but you got beaten up by the playground and it's no use 
we'll have to go through the deserted shopping centre 
pedestrian walkways I think they were meant to 
make things better 
but it's just emptier, and scary at nighttime. 
Hatfield at that time. 

This is the place I live 
Where is everyone? Are we the only ones? 
This is the place I live 
And so does everyone, so does everyone. 

Hatfield 1980 
I'm seeing my first knife, my first ambulance ride 
I hold your hand the whole way, crying. 
Get home the next day, police have already been. 
Well you can imagine the scene. 

And if I'm going home, I better change my clothes, 
I better change my clothes. 
And if I'm going home, I better change my clothes, 
I better change my clothes. 

This is the place I live 
where is everyone, are we the only ones? 
This is the place I live 
And so does everyone, so does everyone. 

And when I'm looking back, I look for everyone 
And when I fall down, I fall for anyone 
When I'm looking back, I look for everyone 
And when I fall down, I fall for anyone.
