Scratch out the negative
'Till I don't know what it is I'm seeing
And when history starts disappearing
Then it's time for some forgetting
And I'm good at forgetting you know
And we should have said goodbye
A long time ago
There was no crime committed
There was a band that split
And they were so remote
That no-one even noticed
And they were good at forgetting you know
And they should have said goodbye
A long time ago
Is there always a ghost I should remember?
Is there always a heart I can't unsever?
Are there no new songs to be learnt?
Cause if there's not
I'd say the idea's been spent
