For Lovers

Info

For Lovers is the debut single by Wolfman, featuring Peter Doherty, released in 2004. The trackwas mostly written by Wolfe just after his divorce in the late 90s, with Doherty re-writing the lines, "I paid the penalty, heard the jailer rattling the key / But the key was mine, I keep a spare one every time".

Rumours that the pair received little money despite the song's success due to having sold the rights for a small amount in a pub are untrue - in fact the rights were shared among the musicians who worked on the recording without pay.

In 2005 the song was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for songwriting.

Lyrics

I'm running away with you
that's all I ever do
that's all we ever mean
I forgive you
everything
meet me at the railroad bar
about 7 o'clock
we joke while the sun goes down
watch the lovers
leaving town

This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today

I'm running away with you
from yesterday's news
let's leave it all behind
help me back to my mind
I've paid the penalty
your the jailer rattling the key
but the key is mine
I keep a spare one every time

This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today

[Instrumental Break]

This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today
This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today

This is for lovers
running away
