Blackfield Christenings Lyrics

Christenings Lyrics

I met you in a record store.

You had slept in the clothes you wore.

But I knew I'd seen you somewhere before.



What happened to your
guitar?

And what happened to the prettiest star?

Can you still play
the songs that got you so far?



Hey you with your shadow in the
gutter,

how low have you got to go before you're through?

High
times and vodka in the mornings,

all your memories are coming out of your
shoes.

Black dog sitting in the park,

odd looks from the mothers of
the devil's own.

Shoplifting, getting your essentials.

Gatecrashing
christenings and funerals,

and weddings too.



I used to see
you all the time on MTV.

Read your life story in a magazine.

I
guess you thought that's the way it would always be.

But I believe in
you.

'Cause I think that you want me to.

Though I never really
liked your songs, it's true.
