A Better Way
Badly Drawn Boy · Other Songs - Badly Drawn Boy
I don't think I've got another
Brain cell to give
The easy way is harder
When you're falling apart
So I say
Low down
If your low down
Because there's a better way
Wouldn't like to serenade
You all of the rules
I don't feel like stomaching
All those fools
Want to see the difference
When I'm killing some time
Lose your way in a while
If I say
low down
If your low down
Because there's a better way
Feeling like I should of
And I did no crime
People say it's easy
Just a matter of time
To the phone box
Feeling that it's something else
Got a feeling this jury's dead
So I say
Low down
If your low down
Because there's a better way
Yeah I say
Low down
If your low down
Because there's a better way
