Maple Leaves (7" version)

It's autumn in Gothenburg

I'm walking home to my suburb

Rain falls hard on the city

On every homeless kitty

Oh, please God bring relief

Even if it's only brief

The girl she says that we were just make-believe

But I thought she said maple leaves

Do it for speed--go!

Ooh

So we talked for hours

And you cried into my sheets

And you said you hated your body

That it was just a piece of meat, I disagree

I think you're beautiful

But it's impossible

To make you understand

That if you don't take my hand

I'll lose my mind completely

Madness will finally defeat me

She said it was all make-believe

But I thought you said maple leaves

And when she talked about a fall

I thought she talked about a season

I never understood at all

I thought she said maple leaves

And when she talked about the fall

I thought she talked about Mark E. Smith

I never understood at all

I never understood at all

I never understood at all
