I'm Coping - The Long Blondes

Young love’s a wonderful thing

He’s driving to her parents and she’s wearing his ring

How many times have you seen this one before?

Young love’s never’s 'ware that it’s troubled

I’m not saying this to burst your bubble

But just you wait till the next few months are over

All Nights I’ve spent

And you’re nearing a chance meeting

All Nights I’ve spent

It’s embarassing to think what I did then

Don’t talk to me about the seven year hitch

Seven weeks is long enough for me

They say I’m in pajamas and it’s all down hill from here

In bedrooms and staff rooms across the world people are planning their escape

You don’t believe me now but soon you will

All Nights I’ve spent

And you’re nearing a chance meeting

All Nights I’ve spent

It’s embarassing to think what I did then

I tried to show some interest

I tried to find out what he liked

But it didn’t get me anywhere at all

I tried to make aquatence

I gave up all my Friday nights

But it didn’t get me anywhere at all

Im just like Winston Churchill

Forced to deliver the bad news

Never in the field of human conflict have I been so unamused

Now if anybody wants me than you know where I am

If it’s an emergency but otherwise I’m coping on my own

I’m coping on my own
