The Score
by McCutcheon
I walk down the street
The sidewalk is soaked
It’s been raining for days
The sunlight is gone
I shiver in my corduroys
And wrap my denim jacket
Around my shoulders
Tight and boneless
Almost airless
My messy hair
Blows in the wind
I pass a record store
Have no money to buy music
But I like Spiritualized
I think of her
Mostly her with him
She was once mine
And he was my best friend
Now they are together
Playing my records and fucking
I make my score
And walk back to the flat
It doesn’t stop raining
Another night
Alone with my dim candle
The sidewalk is soaked
It’s been raining for days
The sunlight is gone
I shiver in my corduroys
And wrap my denim jacket
Around my shoulders
Tight and boneless
Almost airless
My messy hair
Blows in the wind
I pass a record store
Have no money to buy music
But I like Spiritualized
I think of her
Mostly her with him
She was once mine
And he was my best friend
Now they are together
Playing my records and fucking
I make my score
And walk back to the flat
It doesn’t stop raining
Another night
Alone with my dim candle
