picture myself as a thin white child

back to the day I was born on

they slapped me into line as it crossed my mind

I've felt better

I've felt worse



this is my life & it's all very well but

never again

as they say

"we've been robbed"

& don't you know that

this time



love

just love yourself like no one else

love

it's enough

they can say what they like but they still can't

take that



distance myself from the things I'd like but

everyone has something I need

don't let me wake up and find

all those others leaving me behind



if you don't have a clue about life

then I'm happy happy happy to say

neither have I although

I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb

this time

cos there's something I deserve



love

just love yourself like no one else

love

it's enough

they can say what they like but they still can't take that



picture my house in a postcard town

picture a bomb in the sky

history at the door who could ask for more?

I've felt better



so kill me with love

just love yourself like no one else

time's so scarce where I come from

let them say what they like cos they still can't

take your

love
