Like a Motorway
Saint Etienne

He's gone

He's gone


She wears sad jeans torn at the waistband

Her pretty face is stained with tears

And in her right hand, she clasps a letter

I know this means that he has gone


And in this town of misguided tourists

She never thought she'd fall in love

It was a few days after her birthday

The thrill hostess gave her first kiss


He said her skin smelled just like petals

Said stupid things he knew she'd like

She said her life was like a motorway

Dull, gray and long 'til he came along



He's gone

He's gone


I said, How could he ever leave you?

You two were good, you were so right

She said, I wish that he just left me

He'd be alive, alive tonight


He's gone

He's gone

He's gone
