Elvis Costello Either Side Of The Same Town Lyrics

Home > C > Elvis Costello > Either Side Of The Same Town Lyrics

Nothing can ever be the same

All of the promises we made seem hollow

But there's still some streets in this town

Marked with your shadow



So if you see me, look surprised

If you don't JUST pass me by

And I MIGHT even brush your sleeve

As you turn to leave



Now it's hard to act like strangers

When we used to be so strong

Everything is changing

And most of it is wrong

What do we know of anything?

Two fools of some renown

Either side of the same town



Somewhere there's a light

I can sense it

Oh, though I may fall back again

Although it's a fight

I know I must remain



Now it's hard to keep ignoring

Someone you recognise

And if I seem contented

It's only my disguise

What do we know of anything?

Two fools of some renown

Either side of the same town
