Best Lasts Forever

[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]

I feel like a sun without a sky

Feel like a socket, without an eye

Feel like a house, but not a home

Just a dog without a bone

[Chorus]

How can you wink without an eye?

Like a grievance, but with no cry

A house, not a home, and I don't know why

Just a pig without a sty

The best lasts forever

[Verse 2]

Feel like a sail but I've been slashed

A vigilante that's been unmasked

Feel like a raft, but not a ship

Sinking on this south facing tip

I know that before when you answered the door

I told you the world to leave me

The best lasts forever, together again

[Verse 3]

Have you ever felt like a story untold?

A catwalk model that's growing old

Hard to imagine what's more important

The rainbow, the pot or the gold

I know that before when you answered the door

I told you the world to leave me

The best lasts forever, together again

[Verse 4]

Thinking about what it is that made you change

Was it the quarks, the dosh or the dames

When did I become so deranged?

Think of the time when blood ran through your veins

When she looked as sweet as a candy cane

As she looks through the window pane

Through the window pane and the rain

I said it again and again

The best lasts forever

I know that before when you answered the door

I told you the world to leave me

[Verse 5]

I've been on my knees on so many streets

Not just the ones in Dundee

Feel on my face, been a legless disgrace

Ten thousand laughing at me, but still

The best last forever
