Her Coat And No Knickers Lyrics - Colin Vearncombe

You told a few lies and they came back on you 

So you told a hundred more until she came back to you 

But she only stayed a while 

Just long enough to say the kind of things left to be said 

In the cold light of day 

And she smelled of Xmas trees, coffee and vanilla 

Calcutta after snowfall, she's no-one's stand in mother 

But I drifted into her like I could run myself aground 

And keep her smiling at the sight of the blackness spilling out 

And I don't mind if you don't care about it 

I'll get by without her arms around me 

As long as I can sit on my own 

In her coat and no knickers

I believe it doesn't matter 

So don't look at me that way 

Like I should notice how you look at me that way 

That's just the way you look when you look at me that way and I believe it 

doesn't matter 

At least not much anyway 

I never dreamed I could be lost in a place I know so well 

But I was running on the spot in the darkness 'til I fell 

And then pulling off my clothes I want to step out of my skin 

And paint a tattoo on my heart shows an arrow pointing in 

And I don't mind if you don't care about it 

I'll get by without her arms around me 

As long as I can sit on my own 

In her coat and no knickers

I believe it doesn't matter 

So don't look at me that way 

Like I should notice how you look at me that way 

That's just the way you look when you look at me that way and I believe it 

doesn't matter 

At least not much anyway
