So Tough

Saint Etienne So Tough Album

I wish they wouldn't laugh.

I've been driving for some time / and the towns look the same.
This town feels very different, / as though i've been here
before.
This looks like the old school-yard where we both used to play.
And the kids in that building, / they look just like our
friends.

Something about / this place / makes me lose a grip on time and
space.
I haven't seen you for years, / but i feel you could be here
right now.
And i know it's strange, / yes i know it's strange, / that you
could be here with me now.

Days spent staring at highways, / strange effects on the brain.
I can tell i'm not dreaming, / i know i'm wide awake!
I'm sure i saw the theatre / that burnt down in '83 -
And i followed the harley / that had your number-plate.

Something about this place / makes me lose a grip on time and
space.
I haven't seen you for years, / but i feel you could be here
right now.
And i know it's strange, / yes i know it's strange, / that you
could be here with me now.
