lyrics

[verse 1]
there are a couple of thoughts that storm the gates
every time i open my eyes late
in the morning
i’m not yet quite awake
but my mind is already going
the first is the last image of your face
a file i keep on trying to erase
but it’s grown a record of its own
it self-duplicates

[chorus]
i don’t want you
i don’t need you
that is all that i’ve been saying
i could forget that i’ve seen you
if it wasn’t for my obstinate brain

[verse 2]
there were a couple of things i couldn’t say
when last we spoke at adelaide and bay
just then the cross light changed
and we both had to get going
to be fair i didn’t ask you to wait
to be honest i didn’t even want it
i just wanted you to
turn around and hunt me down and
throw me in a bus right out of town

[chorus]
i don’t want you
i don’t need you
that is all that i’ve been saying
i could forget that i’ve seen you
if it wasn’t for my obstinate brain

[verse 3]
and now everything i think is a little bit damp
everything i say has got a little less command
everything i do is only an imitation
of what i wish i’d done
and now everything i see is a little bit dull
every breath i take is just a little void and null
and when you’re here i kick into gear as if i
feel nothing at all because

[chorus]
i don’t want you
i don’t need you
that is all that i’ve been saying
i don't want you go away
i could forget that i’ve seen you
if it wasn’t for my obstinate brain
