Del Amitri - Can You Do Me Good?

Buttons On My Clothes

I've been drinking all through summer
I guess I've had a laugh
I've had every kind of fun I could have had
Looking at my crowd tonight
There's a sober kind of sparkle in their eyes
That I don't like

'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that

I'm a man of reputation in this rocker's town
I have lived it up so long, I'll never live it down
Every back room bet I've made
Every all night thrill room-service bill I've paid
Looks cheap today

'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that
Yeah, everybody knows she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that

I took a chemical vacation in my head
But now I'm back here at the station with a trunk of regret

Thought I found myself a frequency beyond her voice
But the memories keep breaking through the noise
So brother, send a ship for me
Before I wash upon the shore of clarity
I can see

Everybody knows she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that
Yeah, everywhere I go, there are ghosts of what I had
Like the buttons on my clothes, they are everywhere I'm at

Yeah, everybody knows (she ain't coming back)
Everybody knows (she ain't coming back)
Everybody knows (she ain't coming back)
Everywhere I go
