Tindersticks
City Sickness
[Verse 1]
I'm crawling, I don't know where to or from
The centre of things from where everything stems
Is not where I belong
[Pre-Chorus]
I have this city's sickness growing inside me
So this is where I ran for freedom
Where a man may not be free
[Chorus]
I have these hands beating with love for you
And you're not here to touch
I sent you away, what else can I do
When I need something that much
That much
[Verse 2]
I'm hurting babe, in this city there's no place for love
It's just used to make people feel better
That's not like us
[Pre-Chorus]
I got this sickness as I got off the train
Now it chips away at my heart
Until nothing remains
[Chorus]
I have these hands beating with love for you
And you're not here to touch
I sent you away, what else can I do
When I need something that much
That much
[Bridge]
I'm okay afterwards
Afterwards lasts for minutes only
I'm okay during
You kinda fill up my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just the befores, they last forever
It's just the befores, they just fuck my mind
[Chorus]
I have these hands beating with love for you
And you're not here to touch
I sent you away, what else can I do
When I need something that much
That much
