Up Against The Wall
To think it was going so wellWe'd go out at nightCome home and fight like hellGood fights about big thingsYou know, just pushing round in the darkTo think I was scared to open the boxNew love on the doorstep isn't it funnyThere's nothing on how it worksGo on, have a look insideYou won't know what you did without itWell you sleptYou met interesting peopleAnd you slept with themYeah I'm up against the wall nowI'm up against the wallHotel room, a silent phoneA packet of fags, a bottle of wine, a suitcase you call your ownWhen the darkness comes from the inside outAnd even the barmen are pricksVitriol, the cigarettesA long night of thinking and the search for the best vignettesYeah well it was good, wasn't itLetras de cancionesThen it got badSome say love it only comes once in a lifetimeWell once is enough for meShe was one in a millionSo there's five more just in New South WalesThere's a show on the television nowA man in the jungle with monkeys, he's saying we've come so farYeah well it's news to meI'd better go evolve nowTo think it was going to wellWe'd go out at night come home and fight like hellGood fights about big thingsLike who wrote the book on menWell it was meAnd I'm up against the wall nowAnd I'm afraid to say I must fail herI must fail herI must fail herI must fail her...(fade) From Letras Mania
