North Of Heaven Lyrics - Edwyn Collins

Don't pretend that you don't know me 

If you mean to offend me then you're doing pretty well 

And how convincingly you've shown me 

That the love I thought was built to last is now an empty shell 

Things can only get better 

What's around the corner, who can tell? 

I'll build a little place just north of heaven 

I'm kinda tired of living south of hell 

Don't assume you can ignore me 

You'd best bite your lip in case I make it after all 

And how contemptuously you've shown me 

That all my aspirations were so paltry and so small 

Things can only get better 

What's around the corner, who can tell? 

I'll build a little place just north of heaven 

I'm kinda tired of living south of hell 

Some mother's talking 'bout Guns 'n' Roses 

As if I give a fuck, at best I think they suck 

I'm too preoccupied with my memories 

Not non-entities 

Things can only get better 

What's around the corner, who can tell? 

I'll build a little place just north of heaven 

I'm kinda tired of living south of hell 

I'm kinda tired of living south of hell 

I'm kinda tired of living
