lyrics

YOUR LOVER

I saw your lover on the street today
His head was bowed and he was looking the other way
He’s never met me and it’s strange to think of all the things I know
About his body and his mind

He turned into the supermarket in front of me
I was lured in by a strange curiosity
He browsed through Special K and Weetabix and Cheerios
And I thought
You’re not aware of what I know

Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs

He wore a leather jacket he got from his Uncle Joe
His hair was short he had it cut just a week ago
And by the deli counter
He glanced at me unknowingly
And I had the strangest picture in my mind

Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs

I had to get into the same check-out queue as him
I saw his wallet with a photograph of you in
I left the store and all the way home I was whistling to myself
That life is stranger than a song

Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs

Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs
