lyrics

Buttons missing from my coat
My back is broke
My greying face is wincing now
I feel a steady rising sickness coming from my feet
And then sinking down
I doodle pictures of a hangman’s noose
I fumble with my key and chain
The front door reminds me of my esteem for you
As undiluted, blinding pain
As if I need reminding that you don’t love me

You pause at the doorpost
That smiling girl’s a forgotten ghost
And your downturned mouth
And every plodding step towards the bathroom
Reminds how life has beat you down
You turn the mirror
Towards your sagging eyes, expanding thighs and falling bust
And say how I’m like the books you read at school
Rather dull, and full of dust
As if I need reminding that you don’t love me

And this could all mean nothing, and you’ll remember nothing

By the canal I watch the young lovers confess
Maybe I need new in-soles or I’m just depressed
Old women and old men will feel this way, I guess
Rewind the camera, buy a newspaper and go home for your tea

Good bye, good bye, good bye
We’ve sat in rooms as cold as tombs
Thinking of
How we were not meant to be analysed, or scrutinised
Just to be loved
As if I need reminding that you don’t love me

This could all mean nothing. You’ll remember nothing.
