lyrics
Georgiana, lying in a stable in Constanța
your brother's standing guard outside the door
keeps you safe but I don't know what for
ain't a life worth living here, sounds kinda cruel, now don't it dear?
but truth can be unkind and kick you when you're on the floor
little brother, throwing stones to keep the dogs at bay
but aren't you just another lonely stray?
daddy's either drunk or dying, mamma's all tired out
and even Father Christmas doesn't bother coming this far south
when it rains, think of me only
when it rains, I see a city hanging upside down
in all the puddles on the ground
and a city upside down is where I want to be
there's not a soul for miles and miles and miles and miles around
sure there's people here but they don't got no soul
once again darlin' you're looking at me like I'm talking cruel
well, don't listen to me sweetie, I'm just a foolish fool
I see things that aren't even there but my eyes don't see what's in front of me
on the railtracks, a horse is chewing at the grass
the grass is full of broken bottles, plastic wrappers, cigarettes
the memories are places I will not forget
and I cannot get my head around the mess of it
