Drive My Car - Two Gallants

You don’t listen when he says

That you don’t love him for his brain but for his head

So pretty and so safe and so misread

You don’t need this kid, could it be this kid?

And when all the hate you throw

Is all you really need to cut him from below

Seems like everyone got tickets to the show

To watch your cheeks go red, could it be this kid?

About the girl you speak, so goddamn dangerous

Could it be you’re just like the rest of us?

And though you try you know you can’t escape from us

When all he hears is the curse of what you did

And all he knows is the need to keep you hid

Could it be this kid?

And when all your nights have come

Each as gallant and as faithless as this one

Will he be nothing more than just another one

Another past you hid, you hid it from this kid?

And as the wind instains your face

You know there’s no-one but yourself who’s out of place

So fearful and so lost in his embrace

You don’t need this kid, could it be this kid?

About the girl you speak, so goddamn dangerous

Could it be you’re just like the rest of us?

And though you try you know you can’t escape from us

When all he hears is the curse of what you did

And all he knows is the need to keep you hid

Could it be this kid?

‽It's hard†she said ‽my fortune’s been quite hardâ€

‽It's hard†she said ‽my fortune’s been quite hardâ€

‽This card†he said ‽Don't play that victim cardâ€

‽This card†he said, ‽Don't play that victim cardâ€

‽Stars†she said, ‽This fate is crossed with starsâ€

‽And it’s god†he said, ‽It's that I’ll disregardâ€

‽And this jar†he said, ‽I'll leave the door ajarâ€

‽And this car†he said, ‽'Cos you should drive my carâ€

‽Has this gone much too far?†she said

‽Has this gone much too far?

I don’t know who you are

I don’t know who you areâ€

Just before you break in two

One last thing he’ll say to you

One last thing that’s gone unheard

Should it be unsaid?

I gave you more than you could take

All I put was more at stake

You keep your trophies on the wall

Well, I’ll take the door instead

'Cos you don’t need this kid

But the girl you speak, so goddamn dangerous

Could it be you’re just like the rest of us?

And though you try you know you can’t escape from us

When all he hears is the curse of what you did

And all he knows is the need to keep you hid

Could it be this kid?
