LyricMeaning

(If There's) No Hope For Us
Arab Strap

Where the words were once sweethearts

Now they're ugly violent thugs

How did our language come to this?

We speak in grunts and sighs and shrugs


When we never let used to let

Just one spare moment go to waste

Now you're hardly ever here

And when you are you're bored and chaste


So when did you decide that I was vile?

I've tried and tried to talk

But talking's never been your style


You say you think we'll still be friends

But we both know that we wont

And your mates all laugh and smile

As if they know something I don't


And every night a taxi

Softly sweeps you up our street

You used to say you broke your phone

Now you don't care if you're discreet


So why wont you just tell me who was there?

There's a buzz about you now

There's something funny in the air


If there's no hope for use then there's no hope for anyone

What chance can they have if even you and me just can't have fun?

Was it so long ago our friends said we were disgraceful

But how could they ever know that we could be so unfaithful


You weren't wearing much of note

Just hold-ups and your long white coat

The electric fire lit up your skin

As we whispered cos your mum was in


And as we went to use the phone

We noticed that we weren't alone

We just shrugged and let the pervert see

What he could only hope to be


But that was in the haze of new romance

When we floated hand in hand

Right through it's vague deceitful trance


If there's no hope for use then there's no hope for anyone

What chance can they have if even you and me just can't have fun?

Was it so long ago our friends said we were disgraceful

But how could they ever know that we could be so unfaithful


That's me then, I'm all packed you know

I need some time to think

You just take what you think you'll need

I think we both might need a drink


And the secrets that I keep, you know

I keep because I care

But if there's no hope left for use

Well darling, let's just leave it there
