Testo Your Biggest Fan

Life on the margins

Little looks we have to steal

I want to run like vagrants hand in hand across this field

But I know the way you are I could fall into the star


But it's not easy for everybody to fall in love



The city walls are reigning perilous and tall over dark chilling streets

It's not weakness when you fall

Oh it's just too much too fast

Crash that column into the wall


Don't let them tell you that there's a right way to fall in love



And she says



I want to live my life

Don't want to waste my time

I want a man who makes me feel like a woman



I used to be your biggest fan

I used to be your biggest fan

Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation



I used to be your biggest fan

I used to be your biggest fan

And now I know that you could never love someone like me



I used to run with my whiskers to the sun

I used to show my weakness like a bullet shakes a gun

But I say

Close in on me, my foundations came undone

I said, why oh why is there so much hate in this world



Belt out a song, some vicious call-to-arms gone wrong

But we've tended now we're going fifty thousand strong

This one's a dream so shut your mouth and sing along

Oh the science of music is all stupid and cruel



And I know I want to live my life

Don't want to waste my time

Trying to strike the right lyrical density



I used to be your biggest fan

I used to be your biggest fan

Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation



I used to be your biggest fan

I used to be your biggest fan

But now I know that you could never love someone like me



And I know I want to live my life

Don't want to waste my time

I want to be the toast of the shanty-town



You stick around a while

And you cut your teeth

You can't go home



I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be



I used to be your biggest fan

And then I saw you in a doorway

For a moment you looked tender and I know

That I could never ever ever ever ever touch you

Because you might touch back



Oh yes, you might, oh you might touch back



Well I made a mistake, well I made two

One for me and one for you

And then I knew



That I would measure everybody against you

Yes I would measure everybody against you



Well I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be
