Lyrics

Octopussy

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.

Some bits of snow still hanging in the air, but that's outside

Take off your clothes and lie down over there, oh that's just right

I sat by this window and just watched for you. No you weren't late

There was a thousand things I had to do, they can all wait

You don't take away my hand, like you ought to

You've become my family

I don't want to understand why I need you

You've just become my family

I lay down there and watched you getting dressed. It's still so clear

You laughed and pulled your knees up to your chest if I came near

God knows I've always had to fear the worst, but not that time

You brought me home and then you kissed me first, and you were all mine

You don't take away my hand, like you ought to

You've become my family

I don't want to understand why I need you

You've just become my family

You don't take away my hand, like you ought to

You've become my family

I don't want to understand why I need you

You've just become my family

We don't have to do anything

We don't have to do anything except watch the leaves

Turning in the wind

Say what you want to say

We don't have to go anywhere

We don't have to go anywhere let's just sit and talk

About the usual things

I couldn't move anyway
