Cat Empire - So Many Nights Album: So Many Nights Submitted by Harry Collis It doesn't matter what I say it doesn't matter what I do It seems I'm going to have to change my look for you cos I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far And I think that we could float from evening to the stars [Pre Chorus] When I see you in the distance with your friends I look around and then I look down at my threads It's inappropriate that I should present like a Retired matador with unpaid rent So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights you step in and I walk through So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair So what am I supposed to do? I bought a suit and I bought a top hat And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks Went to the barber got my hair cut high And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight [Pre Chorus] But when and I see you your bodice and your pride It's nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides You say 'Good evening' you don't say 'Goodnight' And I can't deny that So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights until I changed my suit And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair Cos I found what to do Put your waistcoat ooooon Put your waistcoat ooooon ma ma ma ma ma ma ma So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights you step in and I walk through So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair So what am I supposed to do? So many nights I'm still thinking about you And so many nights until I changed my suit And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair Cos I found what to do Put your waistcoat ooooon Put your waistcoat ooooon
