Elastica Never Here Lyrics

It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem insane
You filled my head with your notions
You made everybody else seem a shame
In your bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem so tame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
I moved straight into your shoes
I took up your cause and answered your phone
I couldn't really imagine
What life was like when I was alone
Then I started to worry
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
Too much tv and curry
Too much time spent on ourselves
We were sitting in, waiting
And I told you my plan
You were far too busy writing
Rhymes that didn't scan And you lent me your records
And I lent you an ear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
In our bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem insane
I know from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem so tame
Then it felt like going through the motions
First impressions never remain
We were sitting in, waiting
And you told me your plan
I was far too busy writing rhymes that'll never scan
Now I've sold all your records
Cos they give me the fear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
