Semiprecious by The Serviettes

Tried to talk to you last night
Do this properly, do this right
But I'm a coward, so I wrote you this letter
To explain why I believe that I can do better

Wait
That's too harsh
I'll tear up what I've got and go back to the start
I don't want to hurt you
And I don't want you to hurt me physically
But you will always be precious to me

You need to find someone who makes you feel
Like Bowie's backing vocals on Satellite of Love
He and Mick Robson sound just like
A couple of angels sent from heaven above
But you won't get that reference even though
I've told you so many times you need
To listen to Transformer by Lou Reed
But you never did I guess its symptomatic
Of why our relationship has always been static

Stop, start again
Wouldn't we be better off if we were just friends?
Its not you
Its me
But that's too clichéd, obviously

And you will always be precious to me
Always be precious to me
Always be precious
Well maybe not precious
But definitely semiprecious to me
