Dust In My Eye

Stiff Little Fingers · Tinderbox [1997]

I need no help, no aid

I don't need your assistance

I stand alone my friend

And you can walk on by

Don't think I'm lonely

Cos I'm drinking here alone

Sometimes it's easier

To spend time on my own



Chorus:

You didn't mean to make me sad

You didn't aim to make me cry

I wouldn't really feel so bad

It's just dust in my eye



You were my yesterdays

I'm looking for tomorrows

You keep the fun you had

And I will keep the sorrows

I know it's over

And I'm happy that you're gone

At least I realise

That I'm the lucky one



Chorus:

You didn't mean to make me sad

You didn't aim to make me cry

I wouldn't really feel so bad

It's just dust in my eye
