Saint Etienne Lyrics

Album: So Tough

Leafhound Lyrics

[intro sample:] 

I wish they wouldn't laugh.


I've been driving for some time / and the towns look the same. / 

This town feels very different, / as though I've been here before. / 

This looks like the old school-yard where we both used to play. / 

and the kids in that building, / they look just like our friends. / 


Something about / this place / makes me lose a grip on time and space. / 

I haven't seen you for years, / but I feel you could be here right now. / 

And I know it's strange, / yes I know it's strange, / that you could be here with me now. / 


Days spent staring at highways, / strange effects on the brain. / 

I can tell I'm not dreaming, / I know I'm wide awake! / 

I'm sure I saw the theatre / that burnt down in `83 - / 

and I followed the Harley / that had your number-plate. / 


Something about this place / makes me lose a grip on time and space. / 

I haven't seen you for years, / but I feel you could be here right now. / 

And I know it's strange, / yes I know it's strange, / that you could be here with me now. / 


[Whispers:] There's something about this place...
