The Delgados – Repeat Failure Lyrics

Hiding from my eyes
Too many people that I probably despise
Just give me a way
And I will fabricate a reason for their ties
You're one extremely in-between
But you let your ashes burn and now your record isn't clean

Close and the thought
That next to you it feels unsaintly and we talked
For me you're too concrete
And I refused cos I prefer the outward saint
You're one extremely in-between
And the very fact you're hanging round suggests you might be keen

It's just that I watch you lying and it feels like spying
We may be loved ones but we are disturbed ones

Just let me bear
To all the witnessing of what I knew was there
I make no excuse
Just give me opportunity and I'll make use
You're one extremely in-between
But you let your ashes burn and now your record isn't clean
It's just that I watch you mess up and I clear what's left up
Is this rehearsal before our reversal?
