The Beautiful South – Prettiest Eyes
Lyrics Line One is the time That you, you first stayed over at mine And we drank our first bottle of wine And we cried Line Two we’re away And we both, we both had nowhere to stay Well the bus-shelter’s always OK When you’re young Now you’re older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so simple to place And I only write them down just in case That you die Let’s take a look at these crows feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys Not through the age or the failure, children Not through the despise or despise Take a excellent look at these crows feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes Line Three I forget But I reckon, I reckon it was our first ever bet And the horse we backed was small of a leg Never mind Line Four in a park And the things, the things that people do in the dark I could hear the faintest beat of your heart Then we did Now you’re older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so simple to place And I only write them down just in case You should die Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys You can’t have too many excellent times, children You can’t have too many lines Take a excellent look at these crows feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes Well my eyes look like a map of the town And my teeth are either yellow or they’re brown But you’ll never hear the crack of a frown When you are here You’ll never hear the crack Of a frown
