Elliott Smith

Words by Elliott Smith.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I'm never gonna know you now.
But I'm gonna love you anyhow.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I couldn't think of a thing
that I hope tomorrow brings.
Oh, what a surprise
stupidity tries.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

Got a foot in the door.
God knows what for.
And he'll cut me down to size
stupidity tries.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

Something's happening,
don't speak too soon.

I told the boss off
and made my move,
got nowhere to go.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I am waiting for the train
Subway that only goes one way.

The stupid thing
That will come to pull us apart
And make everybody late.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

First the mic
then a half cigarette
singing Cathy's Clown.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I’ll fake it through the day
with some help from
Johnnie Walker Red.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

Everything reminds me of her.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I'm waiting for the train.
The subway that only goes one way.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I'm never gonna know you now.
But I'm gonna love you anyhow.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I miss Elliot these days.

(Not lyrics today).

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I seen you watching
her every time she crosses the floor
so won’t you just go talk to
the one you really adore.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

Can't make a sound.
Can't make a sound.
Can't make a sound.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

See you later,
see you later,
If I see you at all.

See you later,
see you later,
If I see you at all.

See you later,
see you later,
If I see you at all.

See you later.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

Took a long time to stay.
Took an hour to fall.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I had plans for both of us
that involved a trip out of town
to a place I've seen in a magazine
that you left lying around.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I’ll fake it through the day
with some help of Johnny Walker Red.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

Wish you gave me a number
wish I could call you today.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

I'm never gonna know you now.
But I'm gonna love you anyhow.

[Elliott Smith @ByElliottSmith]

Baby Britain feels the best
floating over a sea of vodka.
