Smile
Télépopmusik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw that smile you give that girl.
Haven't seen that smile such a long time.
Don't do this to me, again.
I watched you laugh when you walked out the door,
Couldn't save you from yourself.
Haven't seen that smile for such a long while.
So I went out,
To find out what I was looking for.
Found the key,
Key to our door.
It's all of your lies.
Still I can't forget.
Don't do this to me again.
Had you there in the palm of my hand.
Saw that smile you give that girl.
Haven't seen that smile such a long time.
Don't do this to me again.
Don't do this to me
Again.

I must've been about fifteen or sixteen when I first heard this track. We were using the art room's macintosh computer, and we'd just discovered that you could stream music online. There was a website where you'd just type something in and a bootleg version someone had recorded would turn up as a music file and play. I still remember the smell of the paint and pastels as this song echoed around the room. Just six of us, working on art books and it was the most important thing in our lives.
