Lyrics
Did you catch her in the window?
Questioning if someone observed a woman in the window.
Do I run or do I mend
Contemplating whether to escape or repair a situation.
Praying for heavy comfort
Expressing a desire for profound solace or reassurance.
To fill his pockets with his hands
Suggesting the need for substantial financial comfort.
Men in chip shops, milk bars, postmen
Referencing various everyday male figures from chip shops, milk bars, and postmen.
Used to fork out for your mouth
Recalling the past generosity towards the speaker's mouth.
And now the compliments have stopped
Noting a decline in compliments, possibly due to a downturn in fortunes.
Since every asset's headed south
Observing a general decline in assets and prosperity.
He was a sharp one what a looker
Complimenting someone's attractiveness but acknowledging their departure.
The last drunk to hang around
Referring to someone as the last remaining intoxicated person.
Get well she could colour knickers
Acknowledging someone's creative ability to design undergarments.
Just for the mirror now
Implying a shift in focus towards self-reflection in front of a mirror.
Had a dream once it was morning
Recollecting a past dream experienced in the morning.
In a dress that never frayed
Describing a dress that remains pristine and undamaged.
And now your friends are like eyelashes
Comparing friends to eyelashes, with an implication of loss or departure.
Too many dropping off these days
Expressing the perception of losing friends or connections.
For forty seconds today
Describing a brief moment of shared emotion or understanding.
I was sure that we were feeling the same way
Reflecting on a short-lived certainty about mutual feelings.
For forty seconds today
Reiterating the fleeting sense of shared emotions or understanding.
I was sure that we were feeling the same way
Continuation of the theme of shared feelings, possibly with a sense of doubt.
