The Streets lyrics - Could Well Be In

album: A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004)
genre:

Cause the last relationship fucked her up 
Got hurt majorly, finds it tough to trust 
Looked at the ashtray then looked back up 
Spinning it away on the table top 
She looked much fitter than Saturday just 
She worked in JD’s with Dan 
Back then I figured she was pretty damn rough 
But she was only wearing her work stuff 
And in these clothes she looked more than buff 
She stirred her straw, sat up to adjust 
I told her I thought it was important 
That you could get lost in conversation 
Chatting shit, sitting in oblivion 
With that person who’s your special one 
She said she was the worst pool player under the sun 
The blokes go easy so she always won 

(Chorus) 
I saw this thing on ITV the other week 
Said that if she played with her hair, she’s probably keen 
She’s playing with her hair well regularly 
So I reckon I could well be in 

She didn’t looked too bored with what I was saying 
Hair looked much better than the other day 
She had her fingers round her hair playing 
I saw on tele that’s a good indication 
She didn’t offer to buy the next drink though, nay 
But I suppose that’s just our girl’s way 
I’m trying to think what else I can say 
Peeling the label off, spinning the ashtray 
Yeah, actually yeah she did look pretty neat 
Her perfume smelt expensive and sweet 
But I felt my hair looked a bit shit 
Wished I had it cut back last week 
She kept giving me this look as she would speak 
Was she only friendly or was she a keen 
Asked her if she wanted the same again to drink 
Just started to turn and get up out my seat 

(Chorus) 
I saw this thing on ITV the other week 
Said that if she played with her hair, she’s probably keen 
She’s playing with her hair well regularly 
So I reckon I could well be in 

She said that her close mates all were 
Always the most important thing to her 
I said I thought it was a bit more blurred 
She asked what I meant by that and she stirred 
I told her about the money and what had occurred 
With it going missing from the living room side 
With my best mates all there standing by 
Right where I left it under their eyes 
So surely one of them might have spied 
What happened to my money at that time 
I felt like they were all smiling on the side 
She was like fair play, she couldn’t say why 
She didn’t know what all my mates were like 
And I said she just might be right 
Wish I had someone I could always rely 
Someone to get lost chatting to all night 

(Chorus) 
I saw this thing on ITV the other week 
Said that if she played with her hair, she’s probably keen 
She’s playing with her hair well regularly 
So I reckon I could well be in 

As I walked back with more drinks to our place 
She had her phone stuck to the side of her face 
And sat for a minute while she chatted away 
About something with her mum and her birthday 
Played for a bit with the same ashtray 
Thought about things while I sat and waited 
It’s nice to chat about the shit in my head 
Someone who just listens to you instead 
I looked at the barman wiping down again 
Looked at the football on the TV set 
Trying to look like I just weren’t waiting there 
For her conversation to come to an end 
I looked at my watch and realised right then 
That for three hours been in conversation 
Before she put her phone down, switched to silent 
And we carried on chatting on for more than that again 

(Chorus) 
I saw this thing on ITV the other week 
Said that if she played with her hair, she’s probably keen 
She’s playing with her hair well regularly 
So I reckon I could well be in 

(Chorus) 
I saw this thing on ITV the other week 
Said that if she played with her hair, she’s probably keen 
She’s playing with her hair well regularly 
So I reckon I could well be in
