lyric sheet
Perish

There's a ghost in my house
I realise it's you
you I see through you were right
we don't know each other
we're staying together for the sake of our memories
that we love and cherish we can't let them down
Surely our souls will perish
surely our souls will perish
There's a ghost in my heart
I'm not willing to free
it symbolises me but I'm not ready
I'm scared of the bugs a millionth of the size of me
we're staying together for the sake of our memories
that we love and cherish we can't let them down
Surely our souls will perish
surely surely surely
we're staying together for the sake of our memories
that we love and cherish we can't let them down
I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

Want More Need Less

I want to know fun and feeling before I die
I don't want to spend time with people who don't like me
I'd rather walk on by
and let them get on get on get on with what they're doing
just let them get on get on get on with what they're doing
They'll want it more
They'll need it less
I want to be good and gracious with my life
I don't want to see the strangers who surround me
and there's a reason why
they just go on and on and on with what they're doing
they just go on and on and on with what they're doing
They'll want it more
They'll need it less
They just go on and on and on and on
They just go on and on and on with what they're doing
I want it more
I need it less
I want it more
I need it less
I want fun and feeling
let them get on get on get on get on
I want good and gracious
let them get on get on get on get o

Recovery

The months go by And I don't think of you
The signal is frail An imprint of what you do
So I turn up the sound And you are nowhere
I have learnt this To my cost
But I maintain In the slow lane
I maintain In the slow lane
The scent goes by Still I smell of you
You say I cry At the merest thought of you
So you let me down To laugh at nothing
I have learnt this For myself
But I maintain In the slow lane
I maintain In the slow lane
So I turn up the sound And you are nowhere
I have learnt this To my cost
But I maintain In the slow lane
I maintain In the slow lane
Turn down the sound You are nowhere
You let me down To laugh at nothing
I have learnt this To my cost
I have learnt this For myself
