lyrics

With the gallery we saw her diary
the lights were on for Christmas.
We walked into the streets
to find a place to eat.
British racing green and red,
she looked at me;
we tore each other’s hearts out
we ripped each other apart.
We tore each other’s hopes up,
we just gave up,
we gave up.

I cannot go on like this
crazy with dreaming.
Freely given, freely taken,
tested to destruction.
British racing green and red,
she looks at me;
we tore each other’s hearts out
we ripped each other apart.
We tore each other’s hopes up,
we just gave up,
we gave up.

Ah you know, that’s how things go.
