B-Side - Before The Cockerel Crows
Lyrics

When you wake up you don’t, like to stay in bed

So I’m alone when I make the coffee again

When we’ve had a night out with some style

For once, I wish you’d stay with me for a while

-

But you always leave, I can’t get close

Silent limits you’ve imposed

The reasons, not disclosed

-

I SEE YOU COME

AND THEN I GROW

I WISH YOU’D STAY

I LIVE IN HOPE

MOST OF YOUR LIFE

IS TOUCH AND GO

D’YOU HAVE TO LEAVE

‘FORE THE COCKEREL CROWS

-

When the sun rises and warms the empty room

I don’t need to bother to feel for you

I know that you’ve crept out in the night

Remaining crumpled indent at my side

-

Cos you don’t need me, I’ve realised

It’s never said, but it’s implied

Left to nurse my wounded pride

-

I SEE YOU COME

AND THEN I GROW

I WISH YOU’D STAY

I LIVE IN HOPE

MOST OF YOUR LIFE

IS TOUCH AND GO

D’YOU HAVE TO LEAVE

‘FORE THE COCKEREL CROWS

Lowdown

This song has a double meaning. The first is rather obvious, and is about a person that can't settle down with someone, always feeling that she should be on the move.

The other meaning...

... well, see if you can work it out for yourself.
