Lyrics
Good And Gone
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 have searched for you
In the darkness of a dozen dingy dance halls
In countless queues in cafes in the suburbs
In the bed clothes of a thousand stranger's bedrooms
And I have yearned for you
In the airless hubs of international airports
In the hollow hell of many hundred hotels
In the solitary stillness of the early hours
I still do
Sometimes the things you need
Are right back where you started from
So fuck you hollywood
For raising us on dreams of happy endings
In postcards of the prom kings and the prom queens
For teaching us that love was free and easy
Fuck you mötley crüe
For telling tales that skimp on all the dark sides
For teasing us with access and with excess
For bringing out the lowest drive in everyone
Oh fuck you
Sometimes the things you need
Are right back where you started from
Sometimes the things you need
They hang around a little while
Good and gone
If I could just have a second try
To take the second call you made that night
To find myself an airport and a credit card
Find a flight or something
To head back to the start
Sometimes the things I need
Are right back where I started from
Sometimes the things I need
They hang around a little while
Good and gone
They're good and gone
