Me Singing - Julian Cope

I may be there

Maybe try to comfort me with

My vacant stare

Which hangs above your vacant chair

Your eyes are lost in mine

Or are they my eyes lost in yours

I try to entwine

The wonder that we have there

Oh no, no, dear

Have you been coming here again?

Listening to me singing

Or is it me singing loud and clear

And I was not without you

But I tried so hard to be you

No, no, not without you

I’m being very good at being you

But all the times that we shared

I knew that my eyesight was being impaired

I knew something was wrong

And I soon found it was bad

And everything I do

Seems to be reflecting you

I try my hand at work

Oh, work seems to be for an earlier person

I’m not too late

Please don’t leave me out there, you say

«You're not too late

To come and hear me singing»

All the time

I feel bad all the time

I was there singing

I was there singing

But you never knew

All the times I spent being you

To make up for you not being here

And all those times we shared
