lyrics

If you want to make it with the coat check girl
You know you’ll have to wait behind the gothic world
And what they say is all about the same
Did you get the childhood with the soda stream,
Saturday afternoons with the Boy’s Brigade
The Chinese burn was all you learned from them
And what gets burned is often not the same

They’re rolling out the hand-me-downs
Singing songs, the disco ones
It all looks good, it all looks true
And if you could go there and stay there you would

Dancing in an A-line with the Thursday girl,
She’d like to be your boyfriend if you noticed her
And what she says is all about the same
Hanging on the staircase with the broken boy,
You kiss him on the mouth until it really hurts
And what gets shown is thrown upon the floor
The dancing clowns and bouncers at the door

So if you have to make it with the coat check girl
You know you’ll have to wait behind the modern world
And what that means is much about the same
Picking up the pieces from the Thursday girls
Is nothing now you see it from another world
And what we lost was danced upon our graves
And what felt good feels better than today
And all in all is all we gave away

You can hold it up to the light
And you might think it erudite
Or you can hope to hold the rain
Or even change your name
To something strange.
