lyrics

It’s not as if the pencil test was planned when you stole the attention that was meant for the band (I didn’t) I didn’t know you but I… wished I had with my hands in my pockets and my hands in my pockets (say) / standing sheepishly against the wall with the bones and the breaks and the breaks and the fall (we had a) book of matches and the wherewithal and our hands in our pockets and our hands in our pockets (say)
We started a house on fire and convinced these flames to grow / but we couldn’t dance to Billy Joel / beginnings were much too fast and the world was ours to owe / but we couldn’t dance to Billy Joel

Again an almost happy happenstance when I tossed you a glimpse and you threw me a glance (you caught me) you caught me nervous in those orange pants with your hands in your pockets and your hands in your pockets (say) / we sat alone with the thoughts we confessed and how that Pulp had determined how danced and we dressed (cause we were) unapproachable and unimpressed with our hands in our pockets and our hands in our pockets (say)

We started a house on fire and convinced these flames to grow / but we couldn’t dance to Billy Joel / beginnings were much too fast and the world was ours to owe / but we couldn’t dance to Billy Joel
