Marillion - 100 Nights Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)A hundred nights of fun and gamesA thousand empty glassesI feel it change and stay the sameAs each day passesThey invite me to their gatheringsIn the finer parts of townThey seem attracted to my indifferenceThe irony just knocks me outAnd I love them as if I love themAnd they reciprocate with helpBut I look up at these mirrors sometimesOh, and I cant see myselfThey say that some are born to burnAnd some are born to giveThey say that people live and learnSome people only live and liveYou dont know that I come hereIf you did you would know whySo we close our eyesYou didnt notice meAs I passed you on the stairsHow could you ever guess lookin at my faceHow closely I share your tasteHow well I know your placeEven the clothes you wearIve seen them when youre not thereYou say that you can win win winIf you know how to play the gameBut while youre out there playing you seeTheres something you should knowShe spends your moneyShe spends your moneyShe spends your moneyShe spends your money on meThis town has turned me into what I have becomeThis town dresses you up like a strangerThis town hangs around in the doorway and tells me Im lateThis town takes us down, takes us downI feel like Im losing you to this town
