I've Been Here Before

Lush

(Anderson)

I've tried to be strong, I've tried to be tough

But I think that this time I've had more than enough

I've seen too much of your games and your immature stuff

You're a waste of time



All the people I've known thoughout all the years

Too many vodkas and too many beers

And I've learnt a few lessons from all of the tears

You're way out of line



I feel so lucky sometimes

I sit down and look at all my friends

They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way



I used to prefer those who weren't good for me

Somehow the attraction beat reality

Now all the rubbish they spill, it means nothing to me

I'm just much more wise



Some people grow up and some only pretend

They're all over the place, these children dressed up as men

They can't imagine how a woman can be only a friend

And they deal in lies



I feel so lucky sometimes

I sit down and I listen to my friends

They say more than the empty words that pass my way



And I feel so lucky sometimes

I've got a feeling I've been here before

I can see the world for what it really is



You think that I'm jealous, well don't be so vain

I can tell in your voice you think I want you again

Well, if I did you know I think I'd be a little insane

You just leave me cold



Ooh, you and her in your sad little world

You can only exist with the help of a girl

Well, I'm glad it's not me, I've got my life to unfurl

You're just way too old



I feel so lucky sometimes

I sit down and I look at all my friends

They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way



And I feel so lucky sometimes

I've got a feeling I've been here before

I've been here before
