Elvis Costello Either Side of the Same Town lyrics

Nothing will ever be the same
All of the promises we made they seem hollow
But there is still streets in this town
Marked with your shadow

So if you see me, look surprised
If you don't just pass me by
And I might even touch your sleeve
Oh, as you turn and leave

Now it's hard to act like strangers
When we used to be so strong
Everything is changing
And most of it is wrong

What do we know of anything?
Two fools of some renown
Either side, either side of the same town
Either side, either side of the same town


Somewhere there's a light
I can sense it oh though I may fall back again
Although it's a fight
I know I must remain

Now it's hard to keep ignoring
Someone you recognize
If I seem contented
It's only my disguise

What do we know of anything?
Two fools of some renown
Either side, either side of the same town
Either side, either side of the same town
Either side, either side of the same town
