lyrics

ASTROGAL

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
So let's move away
But any town that would have us
Is not the type of town where we would want to stay

Astrogal - pack it in your sad case
I'm your Astroboy - I can give you space
Liked you enough to let you go
But loved you so much - it just about killed me though

This bed is big enough for the two of us
Until you bring your friends along
So you & me are Off & On I suppose
We still get on while you get off with other blokes

Astrogal, pack it in - you sad case
I'm your Astroboy - because I can give you space
Loved you enough to set you free
But wanted you so much - it just about killed me

This heart is big enough for the both of us
You checked out, but somehow you still stay
What we thought must have been happiness
Was just relief from not feeling pain

Astrogal, pack it in a sad case
I'm your Astroboy - I give you space
Confuse what we want with what we need
What we thought was happiness was just relief

Do, do. Do


(Words & music by Ben Harrison / Etc.)
