The 2 of Us Songtext
von Suede

Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you′re outside where the companies dream and the money goes round

Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band they said that it could be the two of us

The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It′s a tango for the lonely wives of the business class

Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say, so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the two of us

I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
So, I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round


Lying in my bed, watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound, in this prison of the house

And as the illines comes again, can you hear me through the rain?
As I listen to the band
As I sing the silent song
And mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the two of us

Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded, oh, oh-oh
Alone but loaded, oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh


Thank you so much
And, well, we've come to the end of the gig now
And, uh, I just wanna say, what-, what a real pleasure it's been playing tonight
It′s been, it′s been wonderful
It's, I don′t have anything to say about all this, except that it's been a lot of fun
And you′ve been absolutely wonderful
And, I feel very happy to be here tonight
You brought love in the room, and, it's been beautiful
Uhm, let′s do it again in another seven years time
