Lyrics

Somebody Else

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walk through the debris of cardboard and clothes

Trying to work out where everything goes

I'm short of you and a book or ten

And I'd love to hear those Leonard Cohen songs again

You can keep the wok

'Cos it matches the satellite dish

You can keep that crew neck sweater

I wore to the Talking Heads gig

I don't need that angry sex

I can find that for myself

You can keep that body

It belonged to somebody else

Self-help books and motivational videos

A ticket stub from the late night show

Nonessential items of disfunctional-eese

I don't have no room for those water skis

You can keep that kiss me hat

The one that I bought in Spain

You can keep my scalextric

And all of my clockwork trains

All that stuff I thought was good for my health

You can leave it all on the bathroom shelf

You can keep that body

It belonged to somebody else

A room a bed and a couple of chairs

Had a hard time getting that fridge up the stairs

Sitting by the window looking out at the rain

I would love to hear those Leonard Cohen songs again

You can keep the wok

'Cos it matches the satellite dish

You can keep that crew neck sweater

I wore to the Talking Heads gig

I don't need that angry sex

I can find that for myself

You can keep that body

It belonged to somebody else

It belonged to somebody else

You can keep that kiss me hat

The one that I bought in Spain

You can keep my Scalextric

And all of my Subbuteo men

All that stuff I thought was good for my health

You can leave it all on the bathroom shelf

You can keep that body

It belonged to somebody else

Hey I was somebody else

Yeah somebody else

I was somebody else

Somebody else
