Charlotte Street Lyrics by Lloyd Cole

Charlotte Street Lyrics

    I was looking for a rhyme for the new york times
    When i sensed i was not alone
    She said d'you know how to spell audaciously
    I could tell i was in luck
    And so i forced a smile contrary to my style
    And she looked into my eyes
    She said d'you want to go heaven
    Or would you rather not be saved
    Here comes my train
    I'm on my way, will you not see
    I don't need your sympathy
    I won't read your poetry, oh sweetness please
    So she took me back to her basement flat
    Which was down on charlotte street
    Though it was never my intention
    We were not intense, not least because
    Well if you must just take then i'm a piece of cake
    That is what she said to me
    And so i gave myself to her charity
    Well at least that's how it seemed
    Here comes my train
    I'm on my way, what got into me
    I don't need your sympathy
    I won't read your poetry, oh bittersweets
    I was looking for a rhyme for the new times when i was distracted
    Yes those were precious times together that we wasted
    Now i'm working hard for my union card
    I must be leaving charlotte street
    Though it was never my intention to stay so long
    So long
