Fool You Are

Lloyd Cole


from Northerton to Northern California
folk don't really change 
and there's always the rain
from Southport Beach to sunday in the Hamptons
well I never could complain 
and there's always the rain

the fool you are in Manchester 
the fool you are in Maine
the lies you tell in Liverpool 
will follow you to Spain
it's the fool you are

from Lambeth Walk to London, Ontario 
we'd like(love) to run away
when it looks like rain
from Sunset Strip to Waterloo underground 
the stars are just the same
and it looks like rain

the fool you are in Manchester 
the fool you are in Maine
the lies you tell in Liverpool 
will follow you to Spain
it's the fool you are
it's the fool you are
yes it is

from the Sunshine State to Shaftesbury Avenue
folk don't really change
and there's always the rain
and the night before in Northern California
is dawning on the Thames and it looks like rain

the fool you are in Manchester 
the fool you are in Maine
the lies you tell in Liverpool 
will follow you to Spain
and the morning after Leicester Square 
is hungover in Rome
and never again in Newcastle 
is one more for the road
it's the fool you are
it's the fool you are
yes it is
it's the fool you are
it's the fool that's what you are
it's the fool you are
