Lyrics

Covers

[Intro: Paolo Nutini]

Yep!

[Verse 1: Paolo Nutini]

I pull my covers off my lady in the night

To see the cold reaction when she realises actions I've taken

To start conversation

[Verse 2: Kyle Falconer]

They tell me hope that really pulls the strings the most

Clever little words from the boring little boy in the corner

We love one another

[Chorus: Kyle Falconer & Paolo Nutini]

I never asked you to come here

And no one asked you to come here

They're saying words people don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear

So stop shouting

[Verse 3: Paolo Nutini]

A piece of mind it carries tension up the stream

The truth can pierce a hole right through the dingy little boat you sailed in on

And the one you'll go down on

[Verse 4: Kyle Falconer & Paolo Nutini]

Oh what an awful way to throw away the day

Your season is colliding with the evil massive things you're providing

No way you can hide in

[Chorus: Kyle Falconer & Paolo Nutini]

No one asked you to come here

No one asked you to come here

They're saying words that we don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear

So stop shouting

[Trumpet Solo: Paolo Nutini]

[Chorus: Kyle Falconer & Paolo Nutini]

I never asked you to come here

And no one asked you to come here

They're saying things that we don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear, we don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear, we don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear, we don't wanna hear

We don't wanna hear-

[Verse 5: Kyle Falconer]

Exceptions are creative in your sister's way

Your mother won't approve of these newfound days

Think of no one but your little selfish mind

And always think of no one

[Verse 1: Paolo Nutini & Kyler Falconer]

I pull my covers off my lady in the night

To see the cold reaction when she realises actions have taken (actions have taken)

To start conversation

To start conversation
