Lyrics
Return to the city lookin' for a friend
She shouldn't be too hard to find
There's only one or two places she could be
Especially this time of night
I didn't tell her I'm in town or I'd be coming round
I'm steppin' into her work
She greets me casually and hands me a drink
I wait 'til six in the morning for her
She says it's alright you haven't written
Or been here for a while
Just grab your tings and come on over
Stay with me at my house
She says it's alright
It's half past four the afternoon
Oh, we wake up
There's no phones to disturb us, lazing around
Isolated from all of the fuss
She smokes a couple hundred cigarettes and hands me the keys
Oh, while she gets ready for work
Be back by seven in the morning to let her in
That's about when she returns
She says it's alright that you don't speak the language
I know that you barely try
I love the Smiths and my cigarettes, I like you in my bed
But I don't need you to get by
She says it's alright
I'm sure you wanted to forget about things for a while
As I see how you see, how we see, let me see
She says it's alright that you're going to the States
And you won't be back for a while
She says it's alright with you, it's alright without you
Either way is just fine
She says it's alright, I don't expect to hear from you
But you're welcome back anytime
Unless I find a new friend, then this will have to end
We don't need no goodbyes
She says it's alright, she says it's alright
It's alright
