Hold Me Tight

Hold me tight, like a gun
 And please dont tell me we´ve already seen enough sun
 Cos we both know, that aint true
 Thats just something that we gotta do...

 I rest my head in my hands
 Dont want to listen so I stick my head into the sand
 You stick around and count your toes
 When we´re together nothing goes

 I think about this girl I saw
 Who had tears painted on her cheeks and did this monolouge
 And she was good but we all laughed
 Now I guess I feel ashamed

 And about this friend who used to care
 He signed up and the military cut his hair
 He moved away but did not complain
 He said: When I´ts over I´ll come back again

 I remember speed and the lights were red
 And Lucy in the sky was echoing through my head
 You just got the card and we raced the streets
 I felt my weight against the seat.

 The prettiest girl I ever saw
 She said this town brought her down and it made her bored
 She sold jeans in this clothing store
 So I bought two pairs I could not afford

 And Mr Polaroid and Mr Tambourine
 and all other teachers who never quite belived in me
 They stood and stared, I shook my head
 But it wasn´t like I ever cared

 I think of when we met, I felt alone
 Seems like I´ve spent half my life talking to you on the phone
 All things you had to do, they made you sigh
 I said all we have to do is die

 And I told you ´bout this time I flew
 When me and Johnny were going down to Liverpool
 And we almoust crashed
 It just made me appriciate my life

 And I´ll remember you when the wind comes in
 we used to hate the smell of cofee in the morning
 You got nothing to do but
 You know you cant move until this town is through with you

 So hold me tight like a gun
 And please dont tell me we´ve already seen enough sun
 Cos we both know that it´s alright
 It´s the stuff that get us through the night
