(Elvis Costello/Jerry Ragavoy)
|
Nothing can ever be the same
|
All of the promises we made seem hollow
|
But there's still some streets in this town
|
Oh, they're marked, they're marked with your shadow
|
|
So if you see me, look surprised
|
Well, well, well, if you don't
|
Oh, just pass me by
|
And I may, I may even brush your sleeve
|
Oh, as you turn around, turn around and leave
|
|
Now it's hard to act like strangers
|
When we used to be so strong
|
Everything is changing
|
And most of it is wrong
|
What do we know of anything
|
Two fools of some renown
|
Either side, either side of the same town
|
|
Somewhere there's a light
|
Oh, I can sense it
|
Though I may fall back again
|
Oh, I know, yes, I know it's a fight
|
Oh, but I must, Lord, I must
|
Withstand the strain
|
|
Now it's hard to keep ignoring
|
Someone you recognise
|
And if I seem contented
|
Well, that's only my disguise
|
What do we know of anything
|
Two fools of some renown
|
Either side, either side of the same town
|
Oh, yeah, either side, either side of the same town
|

Either Side Of The Same Town
