Far from Me - Live at Alexandra Palace, 2020

For you dear, I was born
For you, I was raised up
For you, I've lived and for you, I will die
For you, I'm dyin' now

You were my mad little lover
In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over

You who are so far from me
So far from me
Way across some cold neurotic sea
Far from me

I would talk to you of all matter of things
With a smile you would reply
Then the sun would leave your pretty face
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes

It's good to hear you're doin' so well
But really, can't you find somebody else that you can ring and tell

Did you ever care for me?
Were you ever there for me?
So far from me

You told me you'd stick by me
Through the thick and through the thin
Those were your very words
My fair-weather friend

You were my brave-hearted lover
At the first taste of trouble went through running back to mother

So far from me
Ah, so far from me
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea
Far from me
Far from me
Far from me
