Taken from the album Death To Lie Ins, available for free download here: http://www.lie-ins.bandcamp.com Video by Bobby Aherne. -------------------------------------------- We Were Born Into Corduroy We were born into corduroy Like you were born into money We were the fools reading J.K. Toole And not knowing why it was funny Was it our fault we drank liver salts Instead of pop when our grandma forgot 'em? And while the bottom fell out of your world The world fell out of our bottoms I met you in the old Crane bar Flirting on some old man's knee I was disarmed by your busty charm; You liked the mouthy side of me We drank beer for what seemed like two New Years And you pulled on my cracker And left me there with my tea-towel hair Getting boxed and returned by two knackers I wouldn't be seen in those pre-faded jeans You acted like someone had hit you But that's as it should be: you're damaged goods And I'm not the tool to fix you The sun shone in the airport hall As you put a planet between us And Dad said "Mike, I think you'll be all right" As I stood there holding my weakness
