Only a Rumour

歌詞

From a painted face to the barest flesh And there's so much flesh, I don't think I can handle this But people change and ride on aeroplanes And that's Domestic Flight, I guess you hadn't thought of that But how I wish you'd close your eyes Like I saw you close your eyes And how I wish you'd lay your head on my shoulder One time now... When I'm alone and I walk in the room Well I'm terrified - I don't know what I'll find in there But when I'm with people and they look my way I could die of shame - they know what I'm thinking But I don't take it quite so hard these days What can you ask of all this, anyway? But how I wish they would not ask me that question I've tried to be silent and reasonable for so very long But I never understood why people like you must have Everything marked Right or Wrong. From a bedroom cell to this public hell And there's so much talk I need to have another drink I know it's mad for me to feel so sad But I'm far from home and I need to have another drink And how I wish I knew for sure How many years I had before This state I'm in will put me under the ground I just stop short of calling out your name The people round here would never believe me anyway Life could never be the same... It's only a rumour - "What's this I hear about you and Susie?" Don't ask 'Coz I don't want to know... And I don't need to know...
