Artist: White Town
Song: Duplicate

I can’t hear a single word you’re saying
Well perhaps it’s time you started using your brains
This arrangement you’ve made,
do you know the risk you’re taking?

Look, I understand every pleasure needs its pain

You know I could never compete
With someone whose heart is so indiscreet
You never know what she’s going to say or do

Every time you talk to her
I lose

How can I be sure?
I know you’ve felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you

All my life this has been my favourite dream
So you should be glad I’ve made it flesh for you
But now that we’re here, I don’t like what I’m feeling
Well we’ve gone too far so now you’ve got to choose

You know I could never compete
With someone whose heart is so indiscreet
You never know what she’s going to say or do
Every time you talk to her
I lose

How can I be sure?

I know you’ve felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you

Well she looked at me
As I ran far the door
There was nothing between us any more

As I pressed the key
I could see her heart
Starting to beat
While yours had stopped

How can I be sure?
I know you’ve felt this way before

It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you
