For Those... Lyrics - Tindersticks

(n.b. this is the version from the amsterdam lp. the lyrics of other versions differ slightly.) 

Two hours twenty minutes 

To one, five past 

Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground 

And I've lost you 

I was cheated 

It was something belonged only to me 

And now it's gone through my own stupidity 

And I lost you 

I was cheated

Two whole years spent earning your love 

Now it's hanging around in the clouds 

Well I've lost you 

I was cheated 

I'm cheated by my own vanity 

Whispering rumours, bullying me 

Well I spent it 

It wasn't worth it 

And for those who are not so beautiful as her 

Not giving excuses, but oh... 

When it's originally tossed away 

It can easily be reclaimed by her 

By her 

Photos 

All those years spent building myself up 

Trying to stop my staring 

And start taking two steps instead of one 

But they're so gone now 

Chorus
