lyrics

Well it was somewhat unsatisfactory to see a shooting star
From the passenger seat
On the motorway
In your ex boyfriends car

Well it became pretty clear
All too soon
The poor sucker didn't have a clue
About the kind of things, you and I had been up to

Well she works in a bar in town sometimes I run into her
Jaws clenched, fists tight I watch him try to watch his words

But you needed a
Gunslinger, straight shooter
Fast drawing, always on to a winner
You got
Beer kisses, catstrophic misses
Cross your heart and hope to die
Coz you know that you'd miss this maybe
I'm a blessing just disguised as a curse
Wont promise you my best no no
Coz I'm real damn good
At giving my worst

Alice said if it begins in chaos, it will end in chaos too
All the more I've seen, the less I seem to know
But that much still rings true
So I'll just keep running round
Wearing my knuckles down
Grind my feet in the dirt
We'll pretend like this doesn't just end in hurt

Well the bar where she used to work is all closed down
And the flat where we first met is all but empty now

But you needed a
Gunslinger, straight shooter
Fast drawing, always on to a winner
You got
Beer kisses, catstrophic misses
Cross your heart and hope to die
Coz you know that you'd miss this maybe
I'm a blessing just disguised as a curse
Wont promise you my best no no
Coz I'm real damn good
At giving my worst

It's your dimples when you smile
The way the light hits your eyes
And I could barely take a breath
Which took me by surprise
And I was hoping you would stay
Even if it's the night
Then you can let me go
Out of sight
Still in your mind
