Opposite View - Del Amitri

We could be away from here

By ten o’clock tonight

Pennies won’t get us to heaven, I know

But a borrowed car just might

Look through my wallet

There’s enough for a hotel room

But no, no, no, you say

«I wanna stay in and get wet with you»

Why do you take the opposite view?

We could be different people tonight

Who do you want to choose?

I’ll book a table in a suit and tie

And you can wear your sister’s shoes

Look through my wallet

Which cities will we travel through?

But no, no, no, you say «You just got paid

Money’s not for wasting it’s for holding onto»

Why do you take the opposite view?

Is it something in your nature

That makes it hard to say, «Baby, I do»

You don’t have to agree

When someone says they love you

But you don’t have to take

The opposite view

We can walk on the roofs tonight

And watch the midnight traffic flow

Unscrew the lightbulbs babe

And we’ll throw them from the 14th floor

I say we’re yellow

If we don’t do something new

But you just laugh and start filling up my glass

As if it’s not true

Why do you take the opposite view?

Every precious second is a chance to change

The present tense is perfect baby

Let’s rearrange it
