Betina - David and The Citizens
Lately there has been some kind of changes in the structure
It seems somehow the sunlight doesn't move the way it ought to
My love what are you thinking
You draw a line that doesn't fit you write a word that
Doesn't quite seem to describe the things it should
And what can I say when I look around I see nothing sometimes
And maybe I've been building me a fence cause nothings gonna get to me again
Betina if id only known the things there were to see
But I couldn't see the forest for the trees
And you're just a girl but when you smile
It seems to me you've seen it all
Like nothing anyone could say or do would even slightly surprise you
And what they come from
I think maybe they're building us a place which nobody will get out from again
Betina if id only known the things there were to see
But I couldn't see the forest for the trees
We should have smashed your fathers house and hung him out in the papers
We should have gone there with a bat to teach
That bastard a lesson or two
But some things you do in song are sad and thrown away betina
Betina do I need to tell you how often I've been thinking of you
Every time I see a face like yours it brings your memory back to life
Of things to fear and things to love
I'll never know what you were thinking of
But some witnesses have said it's the most pretty place they've been
Betina so some confer I get
And maybe I've been building me a fence cause nothings gonna get to me again
Betina if I'd only known the things there were to see
But I couldn't see the forest for the trees
We should have smashed your fathers house and hung him out in the papers
We should have gone there with a bat to teach
That bastard a lesson or two
But some things you do in song are sad and thrown away betina
How I wish you could have stayed
