Elastica Never Here
It's a sign of devotion You made everybody else seem insane You filled my head with your notions You made everybody else seem a shame In your bed I lay reeling You made everybody else seem so tame I knew from the way I was feeling Nothing could ever be quite the same I moved straight into your shoes I took up your cause and answered your phone I couldn't really imagine What life was like when I was alone Then I started to worry I thought of our lives left on the shelf Too much tv and curry Too much time spent on ourselves We were sitting in, waiting And I told you my plan You were far too busy writing Rhymes that didn't scan And you lent me your records And I lent you an ear Funny how it seems to me now That you were never here In our bed I lay reeling You made everybody else seem insane I know from the way I was feeling Nothing could ever be quite the same It's a sign of devotion You made everybody else seem so tame Then it felt like going through the motions First impressions never remain We were sitting in, waiting And you told me your plan I was far too busy writing rhymes that'll never scan Now I've sold all your records Cos they give me the fear Funny how it seems to me now That you were never here
