Lloyd Cole - Like Lovers Do Lyrics






Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
I liked her a lot

Like lovers do

Julia came
Eating a tangerine
Friday the third
4.30
She tore out a page
Of my magazine
Then she went away

Like lovers do

Saturday girls
Kept me warm a while
Sunday sunshine
Kills all conversation
You look in her eyes
And you see circles
Then she lets you get away

Like lovers do

Everyday
Are you so sad to see me
And I'm so glad to take the blame
If it's always going to be that way

Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
Now I'm looking at you

Like lovers do

    she went away like lovers do

    saturday girls

    but sunday sunshine
    kills all conversation
    you look in her eyes
    and you see circles
    then she lets you get away, yeh

    like lovers do, like lovers do
    you get away yeh, like lovers do

    everyday you`re so sad to see me
    and i`m so glad to take the blame

    caught him at The Paradise in Boston back in the late 80's. Terrific show. Tommy Keene opened...

    D.... H....

    Dr Headcase, I was at the gig too and have pics!

    D.... H....

    @51sued Nice! share 1 0r 2 if you like. Did you catch any audience at all?

  5. E.... B....

    Makes me think of my own bonny wee Scottish lass, back in the mid-1990s. I miss those days, and her, but she went away... like lovers do.

    best song happy

  15. A.... S....

    I Love this music😀 FABOULOUS !!!

  16. S.... A....

    Never understood why Lloyd isn't more widely known. Wise, relatable, and attractive in addition to musical and song-writing genius. This world is upside down.

    S.... A....

    Yes! Bang on target. Take a genius song like Forest fire and the lyrics of Perfect skin!!

    S.... A....

    Stephanie Agnew yeah he never got the credit he deserved .

    S.... A....

    Because Lloyd never compromised? Warren Zevon did not too.

    S.... A....

    Maybe some people are above all that.

  17. B.... h....

    great song, great lyrics and a kinda wild, off the cuff, punky blues guitar from Quine

  18. J.... G....

    It's just like yesterday... I wish I was there again...thanks Lloyd.

  19. D.... ....

    Wow! I've been a fan since his first album came out, this is one of his best! Lovely guitar playing......

  20. m.... ....

    nice song

  21. M.... I....

    It's the late great Robert Quine playing the brilliant lead guitar on this.

    M.... I....

    Thanks for pointing out. "give it to me Quine" Lou Reed circa 1985. Quinne a great dude in his sunnies and black jacket.

  22. P.... M....

    Fab Artist, Fab Tune..

  23. M.... ....

    +Michael Roberts :) He will be doing some gigs this year.

  25. M.... G....

    Don't have no idea about who produced this album, but he was a genious

    M.... G....

    The album was shared between 3 producers - Lloyd, Stephen Street and Adam Peters - with LC and SS doing this track.

  26. c.... ....
