Opposite View Songtext
von Del Amitri

We could be away from here
By ten o′clock tonight
Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know
But a borrowed car just might

I look through my wallet
There′s enough for a hotel room
But no, no, no, you say
"I wanna stay in and get wet with you"

Why do you take the opposite view?
Why do you take the opposite view?

We could be different people tonight
Who do you want to choose?
I'll book a table in a suit and tie
And you can wear your sister's shoes

Look through my wallet
Which cities will we travel through?
But no, no, no, you say "You just got paid
Money′s not for wasting it′s for holding onto"


Why do you take the opposite view?
Why do you take the opposite view?

Is it something in your nature
That makes it hard to say (baby, I do)
You don't have to agree
When someone says they love you
But you don′t have to take
The opposite view

Every precious second is a chance to change
Every precious second is

We can walk on the roofs tonight
Watch the midnight traffic flow
Unscrew the lightbulbs, babe
And we'll throw them from the 14th floor

And I say we′re yellow
If we don't do something new
But you just laugh and start filling up my glass
As if it′s not true


Why do you take the opposite view?
Why do you take the opposite view?
Why, why do you take the opposite view?
Why, why do you take the opposite view?

Every precious second is a chance to change
Every precious second is
Every precious second is a chance to change
The present tense is perfect, baby, let's rearrange

Every precious seconds is a chance to change
Every precious second is
Every tense is perfect, baby, let's rearrange it
Every precious second is a chance to change

Present tense is perfect, baby, let′s rearrange it (why, why, why?)
Every precious second is (why, why, why?)
Every precious second is a chance to change
Present tense is perfect, baby, let′s rearrange it (why, why, why?)
Every precious second is a chance to change (change, chenge, the opposite view)
(The opposite, the opposite view, why, why, why, why?)
