Saint Etienne – How We Used To Live Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 8 Second

A rose scented June
A rose he pulled in June
Theyre full upon the lawn
The doctor came at dawn

An old daily care
And Suzie Banana Stand
Through frosted windowpane
Your fathers middlename
From a train
And everywhere the snow falls
Sail away x4

A veil pale? faded blue
A Rubens old curfew?
One windy Winters day
A Windsor market day
People say
Everywhere the snow falls
Sail away x8

Shes moving down the seaside
Cause thats where he comes from
He gave away all of her records
Is that where she belongs?

Better think it through
Remember who
Is there something new?
Or is it you again?

Sail away x12

So take your red gown
And go down to the dam
To do as you please
On the streets of your town

The whistling kind
Shake it out of your mind
It could be the day
When you finally say
Sail away x6
On and on x7

Sarah speaks 2 lines missing
Up the riverbank, land that dried up
The causeway full of nice cars
The sand a distant dream
_____________ ? ______________
_____________ ? ______________
Across the riverbank
Cross the riverbank, dont look back

Background sings
To sail away
And on and on

Sarah sings
I sail, you sail
I sail, you sail
Do you remember how? x4
Do you remember how we used to live? x3

Composition
Cracknell
Stanley
Wiggs
