Coming Second Lyrics - Asleep In The Back - Elbow

Found a hole and slipped on through 

Kissed the stone and learnt the lines 

Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you 

Best dishevelled lover 3yrs running 

Coming second to 

A picket fence white 9-to-5 who's 

Just alive 

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say 

Save some fading regrets 

Yet I can't be without this 

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say 

Save some fading regrets 

Yet...

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I need you to be 

(to be around) 

I need you to be 

(to be around) 

I want you to say 

(you'll be around) 

I need you to be 

(to be around) 

Spit-shone lies, juggled debts 

Planted flags and made regrets 

Muddled through all the time 

Forgetting you 

Cut your teeth and breezed on to 

another brothers fickle ways 

So why amazed when it don't 

Come out your way 

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say 

Save some fading regrets 

Yet I can't be without this 

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say 

Save some fading regrets 

Yet... 

I need you to be 

(to be around) 

I need you to be 

(to be around) 

I want you to say 

(you'll be around) 

I need you to be 

(to be around)
