Richard Thompson - Any Old Body lyrics

(Richard Thompson)

If it's all the same to you

I'll sit down on my pew

So I don't fall

I've been let down, oh yes

But nothing quite like this

That I recall

I could have been anybody

Anybody would do you

Any Old Body

Any Old Body

Any Old Body would do

And your little lies still cost

Though you had your fingers crossed

Nothing's for free

And stealing's still a crime

If it's one piece at a time

Like you stole me

I could have been anybody

Anybody would do you

Any Old Body

Any Old Body

Any Old Body would do

Unique, original, one of a kind

Special doesn't come to mind

I'm hypnotized, cut to size

In your arms and in your eyes

Used, abused, confused is more

The picture I'd be aiming for

I'll just be your lump of flesh

Your temporary interest

I could have been anybody

Anybody would do you

Any Old Body

Any Old Body

Any Old Body would do
