This Side Of The Morning Lyrics

Nobody's perfect, and that's something that 

I'm sure she'll know 

'Cos trying to tell her lies from the truth at times 

Is like trying to divide ice from snow 

When I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi 

And said, "Just guess where to go" 

And the driver turned about and said, 

"Finding what you want is like 

Trying to divide ice from snow" 



So here I sit, rolling back to bed 

Knowing love is a hazard 

That I'd never guessed 

But from this side of the morning 

I couldn't care less 



Nobody's helpless, although 

I've never felt this helpless before 

And trying to persuade myself not to think about her 

Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour 

So I put down the bottle 

While in my head time is collapsing 

and the currents run cold 

So I can curse her memory 

But don't try telling me that she was not 

An emerald in a mountain of coal 

Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer 

at the end of the rainbow 



So here I sit, rolling back to bed 

Knowing love is a hazard 

That I'd never guessed 

But from this side of the morning 

I couldn't care less 



And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive 

But will forget 

So take me frome this party, driver, 

Put me back to bed 

I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead 

So if this taxi is for hire 

I'll get in the back 

Just to hear the friction of the tarmac and the tyres 



So nobody's perfect, and that's something that 

I'm sure she'll know 

And trying to persuade myself 

Not to think about her is like 

Trying to tell the cockerels not to crow 

Or like trying to tell the striker 

Not to think about the goal 



So here I sit, rolling back to bed 

Knowing love is a hazard 

That'd I'd never guessed 

But from this side of the morning 

I couldn't care less
