I saw a drunk pin stripe and a trouser suit kiss In a private show for the waiters on break and the tourists In a healthy glow of a wedding shop A row of mannequins lined up like an audience ♪ Sound check in a black box of a venue Bet it remembers every flight Bet it remembers every fight between midlevel bands Over apathetic hands They might have met once or twice, they might've met once or twice You say yours won't be a life spent waiting for the odd line Spent trying to be two things at the same time You will attack every night Like you're still holding your father's knife And love and hate like the tattooed fists came at you swinging Jabbing your ribs and your chin till your lips were fat and your head was ringing And they waited for you to fall And they waited for you to fall But your glass jaw isn't glass anymore ♪ And it was never ironic, it was never smug Dancing round your handbag in a High Street pub And punching the air and they put Springsteen on and by the time the lights came on We were long gone And love and hate like the tattooed fists came at you swinging Jabbing your ribs and your chin till your lips were fat and your head was ringing And they waited for you to fall And they waited for you to fall But your glass jaw isn't glass anymore Your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
And the best that you can say We woke up from each other Opened our eyes, could barely see each other To chalk out lines the people might've guessed had once been lovers But no more And love and hate like the tattooed fists came at you swinging Jabbing your ribs and your chin till your lips were fat and your head was ringing And they waited for you to fall And they waited for you to fall But your glass jaw isn't glass anymore Your glass jaw isn't glass anymore Your glass jaw isn't glass anymore
