Lyrics:

Seen all good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so battered and brought to the ground

I am hungry again, I am drunk again
All the money I owe to my friends
When I'm like this
How can you be smiling, singing
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?

If you walk out the door
Will I see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes

I am hungry again, I am drunk again
All the money I owe to my friends
When I'm like this
How can you be smiling, singing
How can you be sure I don't want you?
How can you be sure I don't want you?
How can you be sure I don't want you?
How can you be sure I don't want you?

I don't want you, I don't want you anymore
I don't want you, I don't want you anymore

Written back in 1993, this is one of Colin Greenwood's favorite songs, and he wanted very much for it to be on the Bends. An acoustic was included on the soundtrack to the film Nowhere.
