Lyrics
[Chorus]
Unsentimental
Driving around
Sure of myself
Sure of it now
[Chorus]
But you were standing there, so close to me
Like the future was supposed to be
In the aisles of the grocery
And the blocks uptown
[Chorus]
I remember
Remember well
But if I'd forgotten
Could you tell?
[Chorus]
In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You said, "Baby, we don't speak of that"
Like a real aristocrat
[Verse 1]
Compound to compound
Lazy and safe
Wanted to leave it
Wanted to wait
[Verse 2]
When the taxi door was open wide
I pretended I was horrified
By the uniform and gloves outside
Of the courtyard gate
[Verse 3]
You're not a victim
But neither am I
Nostalgic for garbage
Desperate for time
[Verse 4]
I could blame it on your mother's hair
Or the colors that your father wears
But I know that I was never fair
You were always fine
[Chorus]
Unsentimental
Driving around
Sure of myself
Sure of it now
[Chorus]
But you were standing there, so close to me
Like the future was supposed to be
In the aisles of the grocery
And the blocks uptown
[Chorus]
I remember
Remember it well
And if I'd forgotten
Could you tell?
[Chorus]
In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You were standing on another track
Like a real aristocrat
