Good & Gone

歌詞

I have searched for you In the darkness of a dozen dingy dance halls In countless queues in cafés in the suburbs In the bed clothes of a thousand stranger's bedrooms And I have yearned for you In the airless hubs of international airports In the hollow hell of many hundred hotels In the solitary stillness of the early hours And I still do Sometimes the things you need Are right back where you started from So fuck you Hollywood For teaching us that love was free and easy For dressing all our daughters up as princesses For raising us on tales of happy endings Fuck you For charming us with access and with excess For telling tales that leave out all the dark sides For bringing out the lowest drive in everyone Oh fuck you Sometimes the things you need Are right back where you started from Sometimes the things you need They hang around a little while They're good & gone If I could just have a second try To take the second call you made that night To find myself an airport, find a credit card Find a flight or something to head back to the start Sometimes the things I need Are right back where I started from Sometimes the things I need They hang around a little while They're good & gone Yes, they're good & gone
