Lyrics

LIVING WITH MY SISTER

You frown like you never heard words before
You listen with your ear right to the door
Hoping to pick up inside information

But I tell you there's nothing to hear
And you should go and paint your year
With sparkling colours better than black and white

And that would be grand for you
You can have a life brand new
While I stay here living with my sister

Maybe it looks to you quite queer
But let me say there's nothing to fear
Nothing stays the same and I have changed

You wish that I'd stay full of yearning
But seasons change and leaves are turning
I gotta plant my roots back in the ground

And that would be grand for you
You can have a life brand new
While I stay here living with my sister



You don't think that I'll endure
This picture that I paint so pure
It's fiction and a cover you exclaim

But the fire's on and the oven's warming
I aint wracked now by the burning
I have moved beyond the wanting game

And that would be grand for you
You can have life brand new
While I stay here living with my sister

And that would be grand for you
You can have a life brand new
While I stay here and look after my sister





Love everything about this pretty much. Reminds me of mellower Robyn Hitchcock. Great lyrics painting a wonderful picture.

Interesting lyrics.
