Sometimes

Lyrics for Sometimes

The yellow cab drivers, the trams on their wires The heels on the pavement collecting outside The all-seeing window, its clairvoyant glow Where each new indulgence is born and on show And it all starts to seem like love's possible now A fairy godmother at every checkout Sometimes (sometimes) You won't believe it's true (sometimes) Sometimes (sometimes) But then others, you just need a new you You could be Coco, Amelia, Gertrude Bell Or Britney You'd have the eyes of a gorgon, skin like Anne Frank's They'll ask you your secret, but don't kiss and tell Just say, "Thanks" You won't recognise me, won't know who I am Like I'm on the witness protection programme Keeping all my receipts and my enemies close Sometimes they flee from you, sometimes they don't Sometimes (sometimes) They put the fear in you (sometimes) Sometimes (sometimes) But it's always done for your own good (sometimes) See, you could be pan-frying, low-flying human meat All willingly Esprit is just nonsense, but nonsense feels free A freehold on your soul's worth its weight in gold Take it from me (Sometimes, sometimes) (Sometimes, sometimes)
