Squeeze - Striking Matches Lyrics
(difford/tilbrook)Striking matches and Im smoking cigarettesPutting on the kettle, playing a cassetteFolding up the papers rubbing my eyesThinking of all that had happened last nightThe passion, the feelings that soaked in her loveAnd the pools of silence when kisses were sprungHer love levitates me, Im walking on airTwo feet from the carpet, Ill always be thereOooh Im striking matches its morning againI look in the mirror I still look the sameIm striking matches its morning againI look in the mirror I go up in flamesStriking matches getting a flame on the stoveTheres some of her in the teeth of my combDirty clothes piled up on the bathroom floorShes silently sleeping, I half close the doorI see her beauty laying on my bedIm warm from within me with what she has saidHer love is my balloon, I wont let it downFor ever and ever Ill always be proud.Im a director casting for a part(turn on the light)Its for a soap set here right in my heart.(leave her alone)Shuffle to the window shuffle to the door(dont wake her up)She gets the part I dont want to see anymore(unplug the phone)
