THE CAT EMPIRE LYRICS - So Many Nights

"So Many Nights"



It doesn't matter what I say It doesn't matter what I do

It seems I'm going to have to change my look for you cos

I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far

And I thing that we could float from evening to the stars



When I see you in the distance with your friends

I look around and then I look down at my threads

It's inappropriate that I should present like a

Retired Matador with unpaid rent



So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights you step in and I walk through

So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair

So what am I supposed to do?



I bought a suit and I bought a top hat

And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks

Went to the barber got my hair cut high

And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight



But when I see you your bodice and your pride

It's nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides

you say 'Good Evening' you don't say 'Goodnight'

And I can't deny that



So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights until I change my suit

And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair

'Cause I found what to do



Put your waistcoat on, Put your waistcoat on



So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights you step in and I walk through

So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair

So what am I supposed to do?



So many nights I'm still thinking about you

And so many nights until I change my suit

And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair

'Cause I found what to do



Put your waistcoat on, Put your waistcoat on

Put your waistcoat on, Put your waistcoat on
