lyrics

We know where you slept last night
Underneath the same moon light
Not out of mind, not out of sight

Susan was naked and speaking in tongues in Amsterdam
The queen of England had lost her crown, no one gave a damn
The language of freedom was dragging her down
The same magazine cuttings go round and round, round and round

Bring me your posers, your dreamers, your never-did-wells
Bring me the girls who found life in the suburbs was hell
And we’ll try to suspend disbelief
Pretend that life isn’t skin deep
Isn’t skin deep

Peter looked up, looked down, looked up, looked down, looked up, looked down
No one had told him he could look in front, behind and round
It’s hard to be told start again
Wipe everything out after ten
After ten

Bring me your damaged, your restless, your not-good-enoughs
Bring me the boys who found life in a small town was tough
And we’ll try to suspend disbelief
Pretend that life isn’t skin deep
Isn’t skin deep

Those with money, those with books, those with the clothes, those with the looks
Had a chance on the wrong side of the wall
On the right side of the wall
