Couch Lyrics by Cling

smitten

1996

[Verse 1]
There's something vaguely vulgar in the way he looks at her today
There’s something slightly sly in the way she tilts her head
This business meeting has become a kind of odd display
It's wishful thinking my believing that these days were dead

[Chorus]
Were I the one who could win with the wink of an eye
Would I try, would I whisper the lies, would I try?
Would I rush to resist all the gold that I missed
The glow of first love held tight in my fist
Would I try?

[Verse 2]
There's something barely brazen in the way she baits her hook today
A handsome huckster with a bony bag of goods
That raunchy ruler, modern measure of a woman’s worth
She's not to blame, she's only living what she's taught since birth

[Chorus]
Were I the one who could win with the wink of an eye
Would I try, would I whisper the lies, would I try?
Would I rush to resist all the gold that I missed
The glow of first love held tight in my fist
Would I try?

[Outro]
Were I the one who could win
With the wink of an eye
Would I try, would I whisper the lies
Would I rush to resist all the gold that I missed
Would I try?
Were I the one who could win
With the wink of an eye
Would I try, would I whisper the lies
Would I rush to resist all the gold that I missed
Would I try?
Were I the one who could win
With the wink of an eye
Would I try, would I whisper the lies
Would I rush to resist all the gold that I missed
Would I try?
Were I the one who could win
With the wink of an eye
Would I try, would I whisper the lies
Would I rush to resist all the gold that I missed
Would I try?
Were I the one who could win
With the wink of an eye
Would I try, would I whisper the lies
Would I rush to resist all the gold that I missed
Would I try?

(Slow fade out into chorus of "oohs")
