Tissue Shoulders

From Colour It In (Deluxe)2007

Written by The Maccabees

Produced by Ben Hillier

Lyrics

Tissue Shoulders

Never cry On your own Never cry But when you cry Just try and find some perfect stranger With the tissue shoulders on 'Cause I know the score And it's hard when it's her you're crying for So never go On your own Never go But when you go Just try to find someone or other With the GPS turned on 'Cause I've been here before And it's hard when it's her you're crying for So take her and lay her in the ground I'll be here waiting so patiently Not making a song Don't want to lie alone Don't want to lie alone Don't want to lie alone Don't want to lie alone I'll find I'll find I'll find Another with a shoestring love heart thong
