Johnny Foreigner – Jess, You Got Yr Song, So Leave lyrics

[Verse 1: Alexei Berrow]
The boasts they pull that you see through;
They only front just to try to get close to you
And all those boys with vaccuum hearts
Celebrating midnight like slaves to their arts
Maybe you're jealous you aren't

[Verse 2: Alexei Berrow]
Family fought for country taught;
You only learnt to hide your accent when you speak to them
College towns just know their own;
Now you can drink, you can kill a Marlboro Light in less than six drags, I know

But tonight you're slow

[Chorus: Kelly Southern]
Never going to be the models that we wanted
Never going to sleep with idols we crave
Just throw your arms around the nights we lag behind
And know that when you sleep, at least you got... this one song

Broke yourself for faint routine

[Verse 3: Alexei Berrow]
Melodrama drags outside and chokes the air from your chest
All call-me-friends in smoking pens
With shaky hands, and only if you promise not to act surprised
To let the moment pass you by like it's not yours

He's spoken, he's spoken for

[Chorus: Kelly Southern]

[Outro: Kelly Southern]
She sleeps with darkness
You know her name
She sleeps with darkness
All the same
