"1973" lyrics - BETH ORTON

You got a certain way I swear of sticking it in
Even though you only ever lose or you win
I always said I'd wait and wait and wait just to see
But I've been waiting here since 1973

[Chorus]

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere

Looking back in time right now to '72
I remember all the stupid things we'd do
Sitting 'round and speeding like its '79
There was always somewhere else I had to be in my mind

[Bridge]

Swimming in my mind
Swimming in my mind
Swimming in my mind in electric sky
Looking below, well, it changed my dreams
And now nothing is quite what it seems

[Chorus]

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere

You got a certain way I swear
Of sticking it there
Ridiculously obvious
And never less aware
I always said I'd wait and wait and wait just to see
I've been waiting here since 1973

[Chorus]

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
I didn't do it I swear
I wasn't even there
Elsewhere
Elsewhere
I must have been elsewhere...
