She was once mine

that smile that shines from the glossy magazine that's stuck inside the Sunday times


She was so sweet


On Christmas eve

With the snow set deep when we went walking through the pines


I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived


and the new year would see her flying far away from me

though I didn't know it a the time





With out-stretched hands

now she commands a famous figure


for every picture


and she stands up strong and she demands

and they deliver


yeah she's a fixture


and it's mixture of dumb jealously and fear that I might feel

should she appear


just like it hasn't been three years


And there's distance to her voice over the phone

and that's because she stands alone


while I'm still sitting here




girl you see me here on another quite night


I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives


I'll sigh when the light is even and bright

where my life is sweet while it's slightly disappointingly just gliding softly by


girl you won't wait for me


in some secluded stand of trees

some Christmas eve some god was kind enough to set aside


Although I love you too, I'm proud of you


God knows I'm feeling really stupid now

for ever having said "goodbye"





During the fight

I said yeah right


when insisted that I'd visit


that you'd write

Now I know you're working hard so I never hear from you


and that's fine

you look the same on TV as when you where mine




I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control

I watch you from the distance you go walking through the terminal


I remember every instance when you stunned me

well you're so lovely yeah you're so smart




So go turn their heads

go knock them dead


go break their hearts



go break their hearts


baby break their hearts

and I know you will
