The Go-Betweens - It Could Be Anyone lyrics

One light

One light's all you need

to keep the dark out

One look

One look's all it takes

to put the fire out

Too close and he knew it

His knowledge cost him everything he had

Too tired to feel it

You shake him

and the only thing that breaks

You shake him

and the only thing that breaks

are bones and bones and bones

and bones and bones that break

Almost

Almost something

you read and dream about

Bad luck

It's just bad luck

the good luck's all run out

The noises came and the noises went

with promises that were heaven sent

Lies are told when lives are spent

You shake him

and the only thing that breaks

Shake him

and the only thing that breaks

are bones and bones and bones

and bones and bones that break

You'll never, never, never, never break him

You'll never, never, never, never take him

You'll never, never, never, never waste him

You'll never, never waste him

You'll never, never take him

You'll never, never waste him

You'll never waste him

One hand, one life

One hand, one life
