Backwards And Forwards lyrics
Song information
Artist: Aztec Camera Album: Knife
Lyrics
Words and music by roddy frame
Craze my hair and shine my shoes And kiss the kiss that I could lose And I looked at what I have And I have one wish And I looked back in your eyes And there were two words Backwards and forwards
Here lies the essence of my peers Handshakes, hellos and golden years See it smiling through its teeth It's the whore who has to die Unhappy, underneath And it's long learned not to show it Get backwards and forwards
How come when I'm gone I get the blues? Or something special that I might confuse With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use It's cold to the touch and older than I know And when the world's with me too much I say she comes and then it goes
Could completeness still appeal To one who thinks what he should feel? And it stares me in the face And holds me speechless And I look back in your eyes And see your eyes gaze See your eyes gaze into mine Forever
