Weakness Songtext
von Lloyd Cole

Place one finger under your eye
Catch a tear and let it dry
Grasp the moment now and it′s gone
With the wild swans

Yonder streetlight avenue
See it beckons me and you
Wander downtown follow your shoes
Likely they know better than you

Without an earthly chance
Yet somehow a second glance

She said 'I read your paperback
Could we be insignificant others?′

Now you could accuse me
Of courting despair
Forsaken for art's sake, guilty as charged
And you could refuse me, I know


You'll do as you please
But may I call you sweetness
For you are my weakness

Yonder streetlight avenue
See it beckons me and you
Wander downtown follow your shoes
Likely they know better than you

Without an earthly chance
Yet somehow a second glance

She said ′I read your paperback
Could we be insignificant others?′

Now you could accuse me
Of courting despair
Forsaken for art's sake, guilty as charged
And you could refuse me, I know

You′ll do as you please
But may I call you sweetness
For you are my weakness


You are my weakness
You are my weakness
Yeah yeah
You are my weakness
