Tense Conversation
I thought she could have been on the train that crashed
But she wasn’t and I know because like a fool I phoned her up
I had nothing to say I hadn’t said a thousand times
Oh my god what a tense conversation
She would say she loved me qualified with the word tonight
Paranoid as usual I could not take it for the good that it was
So I brought up the subject one saturday night
Oh my god what a tense conversation
It’s time time time time that we’re losing
It’s time time time time that we’re losing
But day after day I say ...
She doesn’t want anybody but all I can see is that she doesn’t want me
If she wanted she wanted she wanted . . .
If she wanted anyone it ought to be me
If she wanted anyone that man should be me
If she wanted anyone maybe I would be lucky like Kylie so lucky
As all things must pass so this did as well
But only as the eye can see, inside it went on and on
In ten thousand years or more it will be the same nothing will have changed
Oh my god what a tense conversation
I call her she answers I’m tongue tied and foolish
A tense conversation is all I can hold
But she’s far away I’m just a memory and our love is simply a story I’ve told
