Lyrics
Fast One
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 kind of machine has been hollowed out inside me
Don't know what I became or what I've left behind
See I don't remember when
Something plain about a girl brought me back here again
Stumbled round her house tonight
I could give her a call
Stumbled over the kerbstone on the way to her door
And I squandered her love
It's the biggest kick I ever got
Now I squandered her love
Nothing else hits the spot
Everybody's perfect and yet everybody's away
Everybody's got pictures that they can't contain
Yet I squandered your love
It hangs there in my mind
It's an ugly thing I can't leave behind
Jesus
