TATTOOED FISTS
[00:11.42] I saw a drunk pin stripe and a trouser suit kiss
[00:13.01] In a private show for the waiters on break and the tourists
[00:16.73] In a healthy glow of a wedding shop
[00:19.39] A row of mannequins lined up like an audience
[00:28.16] Sound check in a black box of a venue
[00:32.94] Bet it remembers every flight
[00:36.13] Bet it remembers every fight between midlevel bands
[00:44.09] Over apathetic hands
[00:48.34] They might have met once or twice, they might've met once or twice
[00:50.21] You say yours won't be a life spent waiting for the odd line
[00:59.24] Spent trying to be two things at the same time
[01:04.01] You will attack every night
[01:07.20] Like you're still holding your father's knife
[01:13.05] And love and hate like the tattooed fists came at you swinging
[01:20.49] Jabbing your ribs and your chin till your lips were fat and your head was ringing
[01:24.73] And they waited for you to fall
[01:29.52] And they waited for you to fall
[01:33.77] But your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
[01:41.74] And it was never ironic, it was never smug
[01:47.58] Dancing round your handbag in a High Street pub
[01:53.95] And punching the air and they put
[01:57.14] Springsteen on and by the time the lights came on
[02:01.12] We were long gone
[02:05.11] And love and hate like the tattooed fists came at you swinging
[02:09.89] Jabbing your ribs and your chin till your lips were fat and your head was ringing
[02:15.21] And they waited for you to fall
[02:20.25] And they waited for you to fall
[02:24.50] But your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
[02:29.55] Your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
[02:37.78] And the best that you can say
[02:42.03] We woke up from each other
[02:44.42] Opened our eyes, could barely see each other
[02:51.06] To chalk out lines the people might've guessed had once been lovers
[02:54.52] But no more
[02:58.77] And love and hate like the tattooed fists came at you swinging
[03:03.81] Jabbing your ribs and your chin till your lips were fat and your head was ringing
[03:08.86] And they waited for you to fall
[03:14.17] And they waited for you to fall
[03:18.15] But your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
[03:23.20] Your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
[03:29.04] Your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
