The Mites - With Indifference Lyrics

From a perfumed mattress to the pigsty
Farewell stiff hugs, lips chapped and dry
I won't try to take you in
Cause I'm all but sentimental

But I got kicked back into the night
Left without a place to hide
What's up next? five years on
Is this an illusion?

I can see, cannot hold
Confusion keeps mounting got no choice but keep hanging on

Ever heard about the martyr syndrome?
Looked for company in bad vibed bedrooms
Walked for hours and hours to be
Received with indifference

And dismissed with indifference

Bitter words and pissed off looks
Aren't helping me mend a nice future I traded in with
'Lovers and friends, true to the end'
One photograph is all I have
To prove I was there with you a night or two
It's with me like an amulet
If I see hard times ahead
Oh lovers and friends!

I'm leaving some things out...
Well, I could mention when I came upon
The road paved with good intentions
Met gurus and tramps and their fast solutions
Here I am, still pretending

Move out of town and repeat the story somewhere else

If I could be someone else
Would that make any difference?
As though you all haven't been through the things
I'm telling you about

In the alley behind St. Mary's
While smoking our lives away
You took it by surprise and
I've been dazed even to this day

'Lovers and friends
True to the end'
One photograph is all I have
It's hanging around my neck
Oh lovers and friends!
Hard times are ahead
Mmmm...
