King Creosote
"Bootprints"

We sit
we think
we drink
we fall upstairs and dress,
confess the mess our lives are in
depressed
we rest
we jest
we love ourselves to death
but we reek of garlic breath
to the bathroom next we rush
we flush
we brush
we splash on spoils
we squeeze
we tease
oh please let me take you now but no
suppose she knows
we really ought to go
she's picking up the phone
just you wait til we get home

See we're sneaking home
you've got your ripped jeans on
you leave ??? bootprints on the lawn
swearing "how is this girl i used to know"
uncouth words
i miss the girl that i fell for

we arrive,
the wives
want clive
to show us to our seats,
we bleat,
we speak
of things we'd like to eat
we cheat,
repeat the order of last week
he shrugs in mock defeat
and ??? off to fetch the wine
we dine,
it's fine,
the girls are plied drink,
they chink,
we wink,
true to form they stop to flirt,
their skirts
are hitched way beyond a decent height,
clive he smiles with sheer delight,
how he'd love to take you home

See we're sneaking home
you've got your ripped jeans on
you leave ??? bootprints on the lawn
swearing "how is this girl i used to know"
uncouth words
i miss the girl that i fell for
i hope i'm wrong
it may be drink that woke this whore inside ???

she has her eyes like a stone(?)
