Lucy Shone a Light on You - Martha

Baby, there was nowhere you could run

Nothing you could do

She knew better, sold your old sweater

Lucy shone a light on you

Oh, Lucy shone a light on you

Lucy’s ex had a facial scar in the shape of a crescent moon

And he’d sit on his own on a stool by the bar

And waste away his afternoon

When her career finally got in gear and the money started rolling in

Lucy knew that time was due for him to hassle her again

You’ve got to hand it to him this time

Always thinking about the pound signs

Digging for another goldmine

Baby, there was nowhere you could run

Nothing you could do

She knew better, sold your old sweater

Lucy shone a light on you

Oh, Lucy shone a light on you

Lucy sighed and threw her buzzing phone on to the bed

Just like clockwork, he was back

And interfering with her head

Haunting her with compliments

Acting like nothing’s changed

But she’d hung new posters on her walls

And now the dog don’t remember his name

You’ve got to hand it to him this time

Always thinking about the pound sign

Always digging for another goldmine

She dug out an old story

Called 'The Void Behind Your Eyes'

«I need another point of view

So call me when you’ve read this through»

He was a mediocre fella

And she was sitting on a hit sci-fi best seller

A terrible tale of cosmic dread

Worse than the darkest thoughts inside his head

He was a coward, he was a coward

He was selfish, cheap and mean

When he read the words inside

Something deep within him died

Yeah, he glazed over at the eyes, manic laughter filled his mind

Don’t waste your time (Don't waste your time)

Your time on me (Your time on me)

It’s clear I’m not your ideal company

Don’t waste your time (Don't waste your time)

Your time on me (Your time on me)

It’s clear I’m not your ideal company
