Lyrics

1987
Words and Music by Elizabeth Pugh


You say you're leaving
Oh and I know, baby
I know how you feel
Sometimes
Sometimes oh
I wish
I
I could leave me too
Yeah

I'd leave all this mess in my head and my heart and I'd go out and I’d
oh I'd pick up a stranger, yeah,
Or
Two
Oh we'd go out all night and drink really expensive wine
Straight from the bottle
And then smash the bottles along the docks
Like the punks we thought we were
And we'd go to a dingy old bar
Where the lost'est of souls
They don't even go
Yeah, you know, you know the kind of place, the kind of place that has its Christmas decorations up since 1986
Oh baby, 1987 is gonna be our year

And we'll drink
Cheap whisky
All night long
Yeah
We'll drink
Cheap whisky
All night long

And I'll wonder if your gonna kiss me
Maybe you will
Maybe you won't
Oh but I think you will
And when you do yeah
Oh when you do yeah
This
Lost’est
Of
Souls
Baby I ain't so lost no

The light is poisoning in the dark
and shame won't be far behind
That's alright
Though
Cause I'm a tough girl
I can do what I want
There are no rules
Anymore

But you won't know
My favorite
Anything
No you wont
You wont know my favorite anything

You say you're leaving
Oh and I know, baby
I know how you feel
Oh I wish I could leave me
Hey
I know a dingy old bar
Oh the lost'est of souls they don't even go
I'll meet you there
We'll pretend we're strangers

But you
You'll know
My favorite everything
And I'll know your
I'll know your favorite
Everything
