When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months |
| [00:35.69] |
She arrived one February morning, |
| [00:38.23] |
Pale and shellshocked, |
| [00:40.73] |
From past lives I could not imagine |
| [00:45.85] |
She was three years older than me, |
| [00:48.88] |
But in no time we became friends |
| [00:53.92] |
We'd listen to her mix tapes, |
| [00:57.62] |
Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil |
| [01:05.62] |
She introduced me to her favourite books, |
| [01:09.37] |
Gave me clothes, and my first cigarette |
| [01:17.59] |
Sometimes we would head down to Blackbirds Moor |
| [01:23.47] |
To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight |
| [01:29.80] |
She said, "The water has no memory" |
| [01:39.31] |
For a few months everything about our lives was perfect |
| [01:43.57] |
It was only us, we were inseparable |
| [01:56.33] |
But gradually she passed into another |
| [02:00.62] |
Distant part of my memory |
| [02:05.58] |
Until I could no longer remember her face, |
| [02:08.73] |
Her voice, even her name |
| [02:13.29] |
|
| [02:15.69] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
| [02:28.91] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
| [02:42.56] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
| [02:55.79] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
| [03:09.14] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
| [03:22.39] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
| [03:35.45] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
| [03:49.40] |
We have got, we have got the perfect life |
