Streetlights
Pulp

Doorways corners and the street lights dance in your eyes
Behind the cinema in the rain, in the subway
Where the walls crumble and cover you in fine dust
'Cause we haven't got a home to go to

Touch me on the back seat, on the top deck
Talk dirty on the back row, can you feel me against you?
Oh no, we shouldn't, we shouldn't, we shouldn't
I want to, mmm

What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?
It wouldn't be the same if we didn't know it was wrong
Oh, touch me and then go wherever he takes you
Oh yeah, leave me and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow

Someone wants to watch by the side of Alena Stores
In the doorway, in the rain did he see us? Do you care?
Pull the night time tight around us and we can keep each other warm
Whilst the cars drive by en-route to dried up dinners
And strip-lit kitchens and the smell of gas and potato peelings

What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?
It wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong
Oh, touch me and then go wherever he takes you
Oh yeah, leave me and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow, yeah

We've got to go on meeting like this
I don't want to live with you or anywhere near you
I want to catch you unawares
Undressing in front of a window maybe

Impressed with those things I drive by
Did you see me? Could you tell that I was watching?
Did it make it feel better? Yeah, it was good for me too
Did you think about me? Did you close your eyes?

Think that maybe it was my hand that was touching you
My breath against your face and when you opened your eyes
Did the world tip off its axis for a few seconds?
And you thought you'd caught a tiny glimpse of someone
Something here with it's shoulders moving towards you
Yeah, I did too and it felt good, and it felt good, and it felt good

In a strange kind of way
In a way that things that aren't supposed to feel good
Sometimes do, oh, take it away, yeah

What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?
It wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong
Oh, touch me and then go wherever he takes you
Oh yeah, leave me and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow

What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?
It wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong
Oh, touch me and then go wherever he takes you
Oh yeah, leave me and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow
