About the Artist
Lyrics
I know some friends of mine Think about them all the time Why can't my life be like that? I've seen them in the park Restauranting after dark Working out on their yoga mats (oh) Stars of the dancehall crowd Married young, took their vows Comfort in their boldness and their flair Dab hands for all to see Stroke of brush and poetry His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair Thank you for the invite tonight Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks I'm getting ideas from your interiors Perfect apartment, perfect kids Perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? Those perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? Don't make me feel so good Expect that stuff in Hollywood Not in my current milieu Sexual tension at the fridge He makes for the organic figs Belmondo lips, dangling a cig And she, just back from her hike And to the gallery she might Glide by with a basket on a bike (on a bike) They've got issues to But what can you do? Bad times, they'll always see them through (It's always lurked in her mind) Perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? (In the back of her mind) PerFect couples, are now breaking up What have I done? (It's always lurked in his mind) Perfect couples are breaking up What have they done? (In the back of their minds) Those perfect couples, they keep breaking up What have I done? Never happy with my girl Jealous of a different world Suddenly the years slip away What am I waiting for? (I see those perfect couples and I) What makes me close the door? I see those perfect couples (Why can't I be like them?) I admire the most Finding fault with my heart (It's always been the same and then) And always back to the start What makes me get in the fray Then just throw it away? Yes, I throw it away Yes, I throw it away (only to find) Yes, I throw it away (only to find) Perfect couples are breaking up (breaking up) Perfect couples are breaking up (breaking up) Perfect couples are breaking up (breaking up) Perfect couples are breaking up (breaking up) Perfect couples are breaking up (breaking up) Perfect couples are breaking up (breaking up) Perfect couples are breaking up (breaking up) Perfect couples
