Untidy Towns lyrics

First things first: I have a happy secret
The next bit�s worse
I intend to keep it that way
I can�t remember the last word spoken
I got some mail I didn�t open
It�s an un-read letter day

I know both of us are poor
But baby what are phone bills for

When it�s not raining
All these streets are filled with students
But you won�t catch me complaining it�s a nuisance
It�s useless I know

A storm rolls across the suburbs
And the streets are as empty as the cupboards
But for the boy most likely
And the girl most lovely

Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping
The days I�ve thrown away
And the hours that I am keeping
But for a while I�m fairly happy feeling hopeless
A somersault in a winter coat
I didn�t notice a thing

And I say it like it�s unrehearsed
But I said it in the bathroom first
�The boy most likely
And the girl most lovely�

The hedges and the hibiscus
As soon as she�s outside she says
�I grew up in the tidiest of towns�
Past the pub where my parents met
Resigning ourselves to modern architecture
Don�t let the barstools get you down
