The Smith Street Band - I Hope I Scare People On Public Transport lyrics

Artist: The Smith Street Band

album: South East Facing Wall


I hope I scare people on public transport
No shoes, my eyes rolling back into my head
I fell down the steps of the tram at the stop
Where I used to get off to fall into bed with you

But now it's just a long, long, lonely walk home
Edgy, wild eyes, trying hard to stay strong
Traversing the streets where the dogs and your old neighbours
Bark at me from behind fences that I swear are too small
I miss the taste of the city asphalt
And I miss the smell of your freshly washed hair
And I miss the times we slept under bridges
Bummed cigarettes from strangers
And no one else matters
But today my mother flies out to Shangai
And today my father surely will catch me
And today my sister will go to school and forget me
I wish I could tell her just how much I cared
And I had an affair that lasted the heat wave
The only thing that I remember now is your first name
And those heavy blankets and that shitty little plastic fan
And the way you had no idea who I am

And everything is a fucking eye strain
And I can't see my legs through the piss and the rain
And I hope to god that I can still spit
Because fingers crossed our paths, will cross again someday
And the train wires circle the planned out city centre
Like vultures coming in for the kill
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
And do nothing with it
And I had an affair that lasted the heat wave
The only thing that I remember now is your first name
And those heavy blankets and that shitty little plastic fan
And the way you had no idea who I am
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
And do nothing with it
