Click to viewTime on your side that will never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic
It don't matter to me
Cos all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar
Too much time spent dragging the past up
I didn't see you not looking when I messed up
Settling down in your early twenties
Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist
It don't matter to me
Cos all I wanted to be
Is a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar
Oh my god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Great rulers make for greater glory
The only thing growing is our history
Knock me down I'll get right back up again
I'll come back stronger than a powered-up Pac-Man
I'd associated this song with Rose and Martha since honeymink posted a Rose/Martha fan mix with the original song. The original version is by the Kaiser Chiefs and well worth checking out, though I felt that the male vocals made it a little at odds with this particular vid idea.
Later my sister x_x_laz_x_x told me that she had a Lily Allen cover of this song, and I was like OMG! must have for my companions vid, but being the total loser she obviously is, she only had a bootlegged version with some random American DJ talking over it. I pouted and said to myself what the hell am I going to do with this American guy vocal over a vid about British girl companions, not to mention the American guy sounds all cocky and kinda gay, and…
*cue Mr Burns' evil fingers*
Would have loved to have Mickey, but he is neither American nor girl, so sadly he was missed out. I justify myself by saying companions.exe is a program that only runs for companions who've made it into the opening credits.
