《For Parties Past And Present》歌词

[00:00:00] For Parties Past And Present - Hot Club De Paris

[00:00:21] The crumpled phone number and the lullaby whir

[00:00:24] Of the nearest laundrette reminds me of her

[00:00:27] We're swimming with sharks tide love and tough cooking

[00:00:30] The impulsive streak of a streetwise rookie

[00:00:32] She works alone

[00:00:38] When I think of her I see her dress

[00:00:41] With the summer sewn into it's cotton checks

[00:00:44] Ohh

[00:00:53] She left relatively early avoiding fidgeting fingers

[00:00:56] And bedroom doors swinging on their hinges

[00:00:59] The party downstairs was tired and torn

[00:01:02] Sleeping on the floor with the curtains drawn

[00:01:05] The sunlight peeped through the cracks

[00:01:13] And what was left

[00:01:14] Some aching hearts and some morning breath

[00:01:17] The world outside sprang to life

[00:01:20] We wrote good morning backwards in the condensation

[00:01:23] All still high on our old supply

[00:01:26] Like the kind of guys who never learn their lesson

[00:01:55] A silhouette by the open front door

[00:01:58] Ignored the voice that said to stay for one more

[00:02:01] Left in shoes made for the night

[00:02:04] And unsuitable in the glare of daylight

[00:02:06] When I think of her in that dress

[00:02:09] With the summer sewn into it's cotton checks

[00:02:12] It seems a shame that I didn't try to catch every attention

[00:02:17] To say good bye bye time
