Lyrics Striking Matches - Squeeze
Striking
matches
an′
I'm
smokin′
cigarettes
Puttin?
on
a
kettle,
playin?
a
cassette
Foldin?
up
the
papers,
rubbin?
my
eyes
Thinkin?
of
all
that
happened
last
night
The
passion,
the
feelings
that
soaked
in
her
love
And
the
pools
of
silence
where
kisses
were
sprung
Her
love
levitates
me,
I'm
walking
on
air
Two
feet
from
the
carpet,
I'll
always
be
there
Ooh,
I′m
striking
matches,
it′s
mornin'
again
I
look
in
the
mirror,
I
still
look
the
same
Striking
matches,
getting?
a
flame
on
the
stove
There′s
some
of
her
hair
in
the
teeth
of
my
comb
Dirty
clothes
piled
up
on
the
bathroom
floor
She's
silently
sleepin′,
I
half
close
the
door
I
see
her
beauty
layin?
on
my
bed
I'm
warm
from
within
me
with
what
she
has
said
Her
love
is
my
balloon,
I
won′t
let
it
down
For
ever
and
ever
I'll
always
be
proud
Ooh,
I'm
striking
matches,
it′s
mornin′
again
I
look
in
the
mirror,
I
still
look
the
same
Ooh,
I'm
striking
matches,
it′s
mornin'
again
Ooh,
I′m
striking
matches,
I
go
up
in
flames
I'm
a
director
casting
for
a
part
(Turn
on
the
light)
It′s
for
a
soap
set
here
right
in
my
heart
(Leave
her
alone)
Shuffle
to
the
window,
shuffle
to
the
door
(Don't
wake
her
up)
She
got
the
part
I
don't
wanna
see
anymore
(Unplug
the
phone)
Ooh,
I′m
striking
matches,
it′s
mornin'
again
I
look
in
the
mirror,
I
still
look
the
same
Ooh,
I′m
striking
matches
Ooh,
I'm
striking
matches,
I
go
up
in
flames
