[00:29.08]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
