Oblivion - Mekons

Too much drink

Another unreliable man

The only chance I had

And you say I never tried

Mockery and scorn

Stinging like smoke

Knowing you’re abandoned

Lied about, betrayed

Age and ugliness

Is that an excuse?

Drunk and afraid

You lost your charm

Didn’t have to be like this

You stole it from yourself

Moving from somewhere to somewhere else

You’ve always known and always remember

Then you forget you’ve always known

You’ve always known and always remember

And then you forget you’ve always known

I’m lying in bed and I tell him

That I’m always afraid

He just laughs and grins

Good morning midnight

A bottle of gin

Gloom and anger

Selfish and cold

There is no love

Just living dead

I know I didn’t know

You’ve always known and always remember

And then you forget you’ve always known

You’ve always known and always remember

And then you forget you’ve always known

You’ve always known and always remember

And then you forget you’ve always known

You’ve always known and always remember

And then you forget you’ve always known
