Siouxie and the Banshees - Silly Thing Lyrics

Alone and left to ponder everything
alone and left to puzzle out all the pain
such a silly, silly, silly thing
you must catch it and cease it while you can
Accusations flying -- colliding cheek to cheek
button up your lip and think before you speak
Oh see him fly into a rage
see her crying in her tantrum cage
too blind to halt this stupid game

Silly thing

Now all that's left is a feeling very grim
alone and left to think about the stupid thing
Yes, she would fly into a rage
and he would cry in his tantrum cage
a replay of this dumb charade

Silly thing

I mis-understood you -- I buried my head in sand
please accept my feelings of remorse and take my hand
Such a sully thing can destroy a man
for such a silly thing to come between such friends
is hard to imagine or believe

Silly thing
