Saint Etienne - Former Lover lyrics

Thanks to Ravi Baskaran for a correction!

Milan, / when I was a kitten, /

we'd sit and sing old songs. /

Milan, / when I was a kitten, /

we'd sit and sing old songs. /

In my head, / listening to windchimes; /

married a fool / I know. /

In my head, / listening to windchimes; /

married a fool / I know. /

Why on Earth / didn't I wait for you? /

Now look and see who's paying. /

Why on Earth / didn't I wait for you? /

Now look and see who's paying. /

Those days / on Radio One, /

set in the East: / who cares? /

Those days / on Radio One, /

set in the East: / who cares? /

Close all / of the doors, Maisie, /

make sure he knows I'm gone. /

Close all / of the doors, Maisie, /

make sure he knows I'm gone. /

Close down / over the ocean. /

Open the doors, / fresh air. /

Close down / over the ocean. /

Open the doors, / fresh air.
