I lie awake Half-blind, half-drunk, in a half-religious daze And think about The life I had, the life I had before I made Songs for Kylie A love affair You loved me then, I was almost sure And now I write it down Put it on a TDK in a jiffy bag And seal it up And send it off Mark on it in thick pen Songs for Kylie Before the desert there's a moment You can change your mind. In a landfill site
Picked over by birds and bugs and parasites Lies my magnetic tape With the cracked plastic case My magnetic tape About the love we had and the promises we made Back in the day Before I made Songs for Kylie Before the desert comes You can change your mind And I'm living in my own wee world And it's hard to see what you must think of me my love I'm living in my own wee world.
