Songs for Kylie
I lie awake
Half-blind, half-drunk, in a half-religious daze
And think about
The life I had, the life I had before I made
Songs for Kylie
A love affair
You loved me then, I was almost sure
And now I write it down
Put it on a TDK in a jiffy bag
And seal it up
And send it off
Mark on it in thick pen
Songs for Kylie
Before the desert there's a moment
You can change your mind.
In a landfill site
Picked over by birds and bugs and parasites
Lies my magnetic tape
With the cracked plastic case
My magnetic tape
About the love we had and the promises we made
Back in the day
Before I made
Songs for Kylie
Before the desert comes
You can change your mind
And I'm living in my own wee world
And it's hard to see what you must think of me my love
I'm living in my own wee world.
