Elastica - Never Here lyrics

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
