Lyrics for You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory
It doesn't pay to try, All the smart boys know why, It doesn't mean I didn't try, I just never know why. Feel so cold and all alone, Cause baby, you're not at home. And when I'm home Big deal, I'm still alone. Feel so restless, I am, Beat my head against a pole Try to knock some sense, Down in my bones. And even though they don't show, The scars aren't so old And when they go, They let you know You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try You're just a bastard kid, And you got no name Cause you're living with me, We're one and the same And even though they don't show, They scars aren't so old And when they go, They let you know You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try
