Like A Motorway

Transcribed by mark dorset

He's gone, / he's gone.

She wears sad jeans / torn at the waistband.
Her pretty face / is stained with tears.
And in her right hand / she clasps a letter;
I know this means / that he has gone.

And in this town / of mis-guided tourists,
She never thought / she'd fall in love.
It was a few days / after her birthday,
The thrill hostess / gave her first kiss.

He said her skin / smelled just like petals,
Said stupid things / he knew she'd like.

She said her life / was like a motorway:
Dull, grey, and long / 'til he came along.

He's gone, / he's gone.

I said 'how could / he ever leave you?
You two were good, / you were so right.'
She said 'i wish / that he just left me;
He'd be alive, / alive tonight.'

He's gone, / he's gone.
He's gone, / he's gone.
He's gone, / he's gone.
