Artist/Band: Saint Etienne
Lyrics for Song: How We Used To Live
Lyrics for Album: Sound Of Water [2000]



Transcribed by N. Mitchell



A rose scented June

A rose he pulled in June

They're full upon the lawn

The doctor came at dawn



An old daily care

And Suzie Banana Stand

Through frosted windowpane

Your father's middlename

>From a train

And everywhere the snow falls

Sail away (x4)



A veil (pale(?)) faded blue

A Ruben's old curfew(?)

One windy Winter's day

A Windsor market day

People say

Everywhere the snow falls

Sail away (x8)



She's moving down the seaside

'Cause that's where he comes from

He gave away all of her records

Is that where she belongs?



Better think it through

Remember who

Is there something new?

Or is it you again?



Sail away (x12)



So take your red gown

And go down to the dam

To do as you please

On the streets of your town



The whistling kind

Shake it out of your mind

It could be the day

When you finally say

Sail away (x6)

On and on (x7)



Sarah speaks (2 lines missing):

Up the riverbank, land that dried up

The causeway full of nice cars

The sand a distant dream

_____________ (?) ______________

_____________ (?) ______________

Across the riverbank

Cross the riverbank, don't look back



Background sings:

To sail away

And on and on



Sarah sings:

I sail, you sail

I sail, you sail

Do you remember how? (x4)

Do you remember how we used to live? (x3)



Composition:

Cracknell

Stanley

Wiggs
