One hand on my case, my face in the other hand
On a train on my way to the heart of Amsterdam
Alone in my thoughts near my journeys end
I saw a beautiful girl I hoped to make my friend
Well I could hear the rattle of her earphones
I couldn't name it but the tune I'd known
I was listening in, trying to figure it out
Then she opened her mouth and the words came out
She sang, I could drink a case of you
But i would still be on my feet
She sang, I could drink a case of you
But i would still be on my feet
In the stations crowd i lost that girl
My friend said this ain't England it's another world
And i believed, I believed i was set free
I need a magic cigarette and a drink in me
Well if the hotel rooms ain't fit for the dead
I'll take the chair, you take the single bed
Yeah if the hotel rooms ain't fit for the dead
I'll take the chair, you take the single bed
When the day had passed to a crisp dark night
I saw that beautiful girl in the shade of red light
I was knocked from my stride and she was calling me inside
I asked her name she said Carey then i knew she'd lied
I stepped through the door into ultraviolet light
This wouldn't just make my day it would change my life
She put the money away and was unfastening her bra
I said I'll stop you there 'fore you've gone too far
If all you wanna do is talk she said
You take the chair, i'll take the single bed
Yeah if all you wanna do is talk she said
You take the chair, i'll take the single bed
You take the chair, i'll take the single bed
Back with my friends I'd lost my tongue
Her words danced in my head like a song to be sung
I'd fallen in love it was her or no-one else
One more drink bartender to forget myself
We'd talked about how life ain't how it looks
She only screws to pay the rent and balance the books
I said bodies are cages, take it from me
It's the currency of souls that'll set you free
And she said oh why do I
Hold onto pain like a sword in my heart
And oh why can't I wake up tomorrow for a brand new start
For a moment i thought she'd cry
But she jolted up
Lit a cigarette and smiled
She said time is up, that's it my friend
But would you meet me after so we could talk again
She said I feel like I've been lifted
As from toe to toe she shifted
I said I'd be here like a lightning strike
And you can come to my hotel if you like
The rooms are like cupboards i said
But I'll take the chair, you take the single bed
Yeah the rooms are like cupboards i said
But I'll take the chair, you take the single bed
I didn't tell anyone else because they wouldn't understand
If we fell into each other then it wouldn't be planned
I admit I use girls like all the rest
But the ones i keep meeting are dumb at best
I know I'm sexist, i know I'm atrocious
But the worlds gone mad and it makes me ferocious
Oh i just want good luck
Oh i just want good luck
We talked till dawn i nearly missed my flight
I told her I'd never forget tonight
As she turned on her heels she handed me a note
And as i let her go I read what she'd wrote
She wrote I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
I hope you find good luck
