Lyrics: Duplicate
Album: Peek And Poke
Artist: White Town
 

i can’t hear a single word you’re saying
well perhaps it’s time you started using your brains
this arrangement you’ve made
do you know the risk you’re taking
look i understand every pleasure needs its pain

you know i could never compete
with someone
whose heart is so indiscreet
you never
know what she’s going to say or do
every time you talk to her
i lose

how can i be sure
i know you’ve felt this way before
it seems the only thing to do
is find a duplicate of you
all my life this has been my favourite dream
so you should be glad i’ve made it flesh for you
but now that we’re here i don’t like what i’m feeling
well we’ve gone too far so now you’ve got to choose

you know i could never compete
with someone
whose heart is so indiscreet
you never
know what she’s going to say or do
every time you talk to her
i lose

how can i be sure
i know you’ve felt this way before
it seems the only thing to do
is find a duplicate of you

well she looked at me
as i ran far the door
there was nothing between us any more
as i pressed the key
i could see her heart
starting to beat
while yours had stopped

how can i be sure
i know you’ve felt this way before
it seems the only thing to do
is find a duplicate of you
