Lyrics
DIRTY COAT
VERSE1
I was looking for a new love. I turned and I found you love.
You saved my life today. The kind things that you said to me.
Told me I was someone good. Slightly torn, misunderstood.
CHORUS In my Dirtly Coat with my greasy hair. Living with these broken hearts.
It?s cold in here. With my dirty coat and my funny leg. But I don?t mind.
VERSE 2
The people pass me by love but they don?t say hello.
?Cos they don?t know me. Please take me as I am ?cos I find it hard to change.
Won?t you stop to check my pulse. You might find somebody else.
CHORUS
In my Dirty Coat. With my greasy hair. Living with these broken hearts. It?s cold in here. With my dirty coat and my funny leg. But I don?t mind.
VERSE 3
Like two kids in a car. Not going so far. Let?s take a ride.
Wishing wells are mean?t for fairy tales but it takes just a little bit longer.
CHORUS
In my Dirtly Coat with my greasy hair. Living with these broken hearts.
It?s cold in here. With my dirty coat and my funny leg. But I don?t mind.
