[00:00.00]Four Flights Up (BBC In Concert Hammersmith Palais 13/12/1984) - Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
[00:12.28]I was woken up at 4am
[00:14.44]By your screams and anguished cries
[00:16.40]Your mother was singing in the bathroom
[00:18.37]She will never be my child
[00:21.28]Oh baby talks in her sleep so loud
[00:26.64]We're living four flights up but I swear right now it feels like underground
[00:34.74]Well you have absolutely no common sense
[00:37.08]Yes I know that's your charm
[00:38.66]You spend the whole day on the phone
[00:40.48]You say well it helps you stay calm
[00:43.48]You cling to my arm yes I know that's your charm
[00:47.94]And when I ask you what you want
[00:51.36]You say"Do you mind hey crocodile"
[00:52.47]Well then could you give me some peace
[00:55.13]Sometimes you could almost be a child
[00:58.16]It's ok maybe maybe for a while
[01:04.18]Oh must you tell me all your secrets
[01:06.25]When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing
[01:11.85]We're living four flights up
[01:13.67]But I swear right now it feels like underground
[01:22.78]And so don't expect my sympathy
[01:24.46]Oh go back to your mother's house
[01:26.99]Snd cry your little heart out
[01:31.63]You can drive them back to town
[01:33.61]In a beat-up Grace Kelly car
[01:35.41]Looking like a friend of Truman Capote
[01:37.48]Looking exactly like you are
[01:41.00]And I know that's your charm
[01:46.38]So don't ask me if I want you
[01:48.71]Only ask me if I must
[01:50.48]I been blown around so long
[01:52.37]Don't know which senses to trust
[01:55.63]Oh no but I know that I must
[02:01.01]Oh must you tell me all your secrets
[02:03.19]When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing
[02:08.87]We're living four flights up
[02:11.07]But I swear right now it feels like underground
[02:15.66]I'm not children
