The Unrequited Kind

Stumbling down Sauchiehall
Sunday morning
Afraid that if I fall
I won't get back up again

At Charing Cross, I throw up
And I feel, sixteen again
When I drank ten pints and passed out to get closer to you
It was a simple enough plan but I didn't really think it through

Now the seagulls are laughing
As I wipe my chin in the window
I should I've said something clever
You know I should've gone to the casino
'Cause my odds would've been better
Could've stuck a tenner on red
At least I would've lost something

Oh I don't wanna break even with you
No I don't wanna break even
I don't wanna break even with you

A friend of mine said
The only love that's true
Is the unrequited kind
Lucky me fell for you

Yeah the seagulls are laughing
As I wipe my chin in the window
Oh I should've said something clever
You know I should've gone to the casino
'Cause my odds would've been better
Could've stuck a tenner on red
At least I would've lost something

No I don't wanna break even with you
I don't wanna break even
No I don't wanna break even with you
