Tough Lyrics by Roddy Frame

Surf

2002

[Verse 1]
Slowly she dissolves me
In waves of her, and leaves us blurred
The flow just enthralls me
I drown in her, she purrs soothing words
Warm rain runs mascara
I laugh and say, "My billion dollar babe!"
She looks at me like I'm her father
Then hesitates and looks away
It means "Must try harder..."

[Chorus]
What d'you wanna go and do this for?
Don't you think it's all screwed enough?
Givin' out the keys to your core
Now you're really gone and blew that stuff
You looked in her eyes, you never wondered why
And now your heart's gonna die and it's tough

[Verse 2]
Concrete and dry heat
Music plays from another age
I'm back in my old street
Head over heels and underage
Soft songs fade slowly
In and out like a sense of doubt
The earth shifts below me
And I forget what I was all about
This feeling's all through me

[Chorus]
What d'you wanna go and do this for?
Don't you think it's all screwed enough?
Givin' out the keys to your core?
Now you've really gone and blew that stuff
You looked in her eyes, you never wondered why
And now your heart's gonna die and it's tough
