Rented Songtext
von Trip

They spent that Thursday morning yawning, channel surfing
And slagging off all the bands
"She′s got lips like Audrey Hepburn", he thought
"And she tastes of strawberry jam"
And he tries to do a Geordie accent
'Cause he knows that she always laughs at it
And she likes the Sound of Music
But she says she always skips the Nazi bit
She does French crosswords and when she wears his t-shirts
They look like dresses on her
And if the sun comes out her nose
Gets those little brown freckles on it
Her 21st birthday was coming up
And he didn′t know what to get for her
So he wrote her a song
And in that song there was this bit where he said to her


I'm looking for your face in crowded places
I'm double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria Station
You′ve rented my head out
You′ve rented my head out
I'm looking for your face in crowded places
I′m double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria Station
You've rented my head out
You′ve rented my head out

And on his mobile phone, next to her name
He's put the letter X in
′Cause she always puts kisses in between
All of the words when she texts him
And she wakes up when his asthma's bad
And goes and gets him his Ventolin
And gently rubs his back
And rests there on the edge of the bed with him
And sometimes her joints get achy
And she lets him stretch them for her
And she falls asleep during horror films
With her head rested on him
And for her 21st birthday coming up
He still doesn't know what to get for her
So he wrote her a song
And in that song he meant it when he said to her


I′m looking for your face in crowded places
I′m double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria Station
You've rented my head out
You′ve rented my head out

I'm looking for your face in crowded places
I′m double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria Station
You've rented my head out
You′ve rented my head out
I'm looking for your face in crowded places
I'm double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria Station
You′ve rented my head out
You′ve rented my head out
I'm looking for your face in crowded places
I′m double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria Station
You've rented my head out
You′ve rented my head out
You've rented my head out
You′ve rented my head out
You've rented my head out
