Tonight the clocks go backwards

And it's snowing at home

And we're incommunicado

'cos they cut off the phone

We're in collaboration

Againt everyone who tries to bring us down

And we're sadly incoherent

All our sorrows have been drowned



Got the plane out of atlanta

Stripped the honour bar of booze

Saw the ceiling melt like candles

Dripping wax onto my shoes

Needed proof i was still breathing

So i held my breath for a while

Fell flat on my face on purpose

Just to see somebody smile





And they say that it's them and it's us

And they say that it's you and it's me

But now i can see that it's me against me

Against me against me against me





I keep your picture in a locket

Heart-shape hanging around my neck







You put it on me last year sometime

Now the catch is just a wreck

My new friends say that you look like me

Of course, they're right

But you're who i used to be

Sometimes late at night





All the things we've done, think we should own up

How come we're old but we're not grown up?





I wish i didn't drink so much

Wish i didn't drink at all

Wish i didn't need these smokes

Wish i didn't take those pills

I wish for just one time

My behaviour matched up to my needs

Wish you were alive now

So you could help me





And they say that it's them and it's us

And they'll tell you it's you and it's me

But now i can see that it's me against me

Against me against me against me
