lyrics
there’s no-one i need less in this whole word than you
but you were what i had so i guess i want you back
someone to chide me when i am old
someone to lay beside me when i’m tired and cold
‘cause there’s a place inside of me that you can’t reach
a place where i am singing in my dreams
a little piece inside of me that you can’t change
there’s nowhere left to run
and no one left to blame
you bought me on the evening america went to war
No one recognises me in pictures from before’ cause
you’ve changed everything a camera could see
kept changing everything but what you mean to me
cause there’s a place inside of me that you can’t reach
a place where i am singing in my dreams
a little piece inside of me that you can’t change
there’s nowhere left to run
and no one left to blame
the things that used to make you laugh now
drive you to distraction
the little things that made me smile have lost
all their attraction
but i’ll put you behind me like the way i used to feel
‘cause everything you bought does not include
what you can’t steal
cause there’s a place inside of me that you can’t reach
a place where i am singing in my dreams
a little piece inside of me that you can’t change
there’s nowhere left to run
and no one left to blame
but you were what i had so i guess i want you back
someone to chide me when i am old
someone to lay beside me when i’m tired and cold
‘cause there’s a place inside of me that you can’t reach
a place where i am singing in my dreams
a little piece inside of me that you can’t change
there’s nowhere left to run
and no one left to blame
you bought me on the evening america went to war
No one recognises me in pictures from before’ cause
you’ve changed everything a camera could see
kept changing everything but what you mean to me
cause there’s a place inside of me that you can’t reach
a place where i am singing in my dreams
a little piece inside of me that you can’t change
there’s nowhere left to run
and no one left to blame
the things that used to make you laugh now
drive you to distraction
the little things that made me smile have lost
all their attraction
but i’ll put you behind me like the way i used to feel
‘cause everything you bought does not include
what you can’t steal
cause there’s a place inside of me that you can’t reach
a place where i am singing in my dreams
a little piece inside of me that you can’t change
there’s nowhere left to run
and no one left to blame
