Sylvia (Back to Discography)
Tape up all your doorwaysDon’t let the smoke come in
Don’t let the children see
Sylvia is to blame
That’s what you would like to believe
When you turn from her face
This is as close as you’ll get (the boys will talk in vain)
This is as close as you’ll get (the people speak in refrains)
This is as close as you’ll get
Is it safe to assume that you’ll be coming soon
Is it safe to assume that you’ll be coming soon
When you fall asleep in the corridor it will be too late
It will be too late
Please can we reconcile
Know that I can not be fixed
Although I’ve tried and I failed
Failure’s not an option
I’m scaling to the touch
I mutter “self-destruct”
This is as close as you’ll get (the boys will talk in vain)
This is as close as you’ll get (the people speak in refrains)
This is as close as you’ll get
Is it safe to assume that you’ll be coming soon
Is it safe to assume that you’ll be coming soon
When you fall asleep in the corridor it will be too late
It will be too late
Could you love me any better if I wrote it down (sock it to ya)
Could you hurry any faster I am seeing lights in shapes now
This is the worst winter I have ever seen in London
Sock it to ya
Sock it to ya
Sock it to ya
Sock it to ya
My love can’t turn to hate
For that I’m fortunate
I’d rather live delusion
This is as close as you’ll get (the boys will talk in vain)
This is as close as you’ll get (the people speak in refrains)
Is it safe to assume that you’ll be coming soon
Is it safe to assume that you’ll be coming soon
When you fall asleep in the corridor it will be too late
It will be too late
You were too late
You were too late
