It's a sign of devotion, you made everybody else seem insane
You filled my head with your notions, you made everybody elseseem so tame
In your bed, I lay reeling, you made everybody else seem ashame
I knew from the way I was feeling, nothing could ever bequite the same
I moved straight into your shoes, I took up your cause andanswered your phone
I couldn't really imagine what life was like when I was alone
Then I started to worry (then I started to worry), I thoughtof our lives left on the shelf
Too much TV and curry, too much time spent on ourselves
We were sitting and waiting and I told you my plan
You were far too busy writing words that didn't scan
And you lent me your records and I leant you an ear
Funny how it seems to me now that you were never here
Never really here
In our bed, I lay reeling, you made everybody else seem ashame
I knew from the way I was feeling, nothing could ever bequite the same
It's a sign of devotion, you made everybody else seem soplain
Then it felt like going through the motions, firstimpressions never remain
We were sitting and waiting and you told me your plan
I was far too busy writing rhymes that'll never scan
Now I've sold all your records because they give me the fear
Funny how it seems to me now that you were never here
Never really here, never really here
