Tender Is The Night (the Long Fidelity) Lyrics - The Triffids

I knew him as a gentle young man 

I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline 

We watched him fade before our very eyes 

And years before his time 

Surrounded himself with shiny things 

First night tickets, ermine, pearls upon a string 

And disappeared in all the pestilence 

that sudden pleasure brings 

He never asks after her anymore 

He made a point of losing her address 

And every trinket that she ever touched 

he keeps locked away

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

And just burns up In the furnace of hIs chest 

Well I spoke to a man who says he's done it all 

and the only thing that pleases or excites him now 

is hurting, hurting then hurting some more 

There's someone I want to forget tonight 

Don't you want to forget someone too? 

I left him, and I can leave you too 

Baby let's go out tonight 

It will all turn out all rIght I'm sure 

Photos 

Don't want to drink at home again tonight 

So let's go out 

Let's go out tonight 

It's getting dark earlier now 

But where you are it's just getting light 

Where you are it will just be getting light
