Lyr Req: The Gossip (Dior Ad)

"It's a funny way to make ends meet
When the lights are out on every street..."

This song by The Gossip has been used to advertise Dior perfume on TV. Surely the lyrics are about prostitution? If so, rather a strange choice for an expensive and classy scent! Anyone thought the same?

Heavy Cross

It's a cruel, cruel world to face on your own
A heavy cross to carry along
The lights are on but everyone's gone
And it's cruel

It's a funny way to make ends meet
When the lights are out on every street
It feels alright but never complete
Without joy

I checked you
If it's already been done, undo it
It takes two
It's up to me and you to prove it

On the rainy nights, even the coldest days
You're moments ago but seconds away
The principal of nature, it's true but
It's a cruel world

We can play it safe or play it cool
Follow the leader or make up all the rules
Whatever you want, the choice is yours
So choose

I checked you
If it's already been done, undo it
It takes two
It's up to me and you to prove it

I trust you
It's already been done, undo it
It takes two
It's up to me and you to prove it

I checked you
If it's already been done, undo it
It takes two
It's up to me and you to prove it

I trust you

Thank you 999. I still think it's about a prostitute, and that it doesn't fit with posh Dior perfume!
