Bathtime Lyrics - Singles - Tindersticks

There's a city filth that lingers 

All over my naked hands 

Deep into the weave of the clothes I wear 

And every step brings another 

Every hour adds some more 

Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door 

Are the taps running, darling? 

Is the air thick with steam? 

Can I find some place to cry these tears of shame? 

Every step brings another 

Every hour adds some more 

Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door

There's a smell so sweet it's sickly 

It follows me into the room 

Hangs in the air like rotting perfume 

I never bathe in it, darling 

Got down on my hands and knees 

Got in so far, I became, well, a part of it all 

I've been wading through it 

Don't you know it's up to my neck? 

And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head 

And it's the thought of you in my mind, keeps me 

Thought I knew these streets, and how they turn 

Could always find my way home 

There's something there, can't leave it alone 

The trains they run all night 

We could leave everything behind 

Just bring that dress you bought when we first met 

Photos 

I know it's faded, darling 

I know it's tattered and worn 

In that dress, I could never love you more 

I've been wading through it 

Don't you know it's up to my neck? 

And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head 

And I can suck it into my love, breathe it in
