Who Cares When You're Not There?

Maida Vale is pretty cold these days
I find myself looking for your face
Walking down the empty high street
Only me and burned out Jesus Freaks

Who believes will be saved, amen
But tonight I won't be one of them
'My gloomy saviour', once you called me
Before you fell for ambiguity

A worn out toothbrush left behind
Remnant of all our hopes unsigned
Your favourite coat I wear
Who cares when you're not there?
A year bygone tainted years to see

In the orchard I'm my own parade
With a head full of capricious end slates
Eleven pounds and a Cabernet
At times stray dogs can get their way

There's no blanket, nothing profane
And there's no habit to complain
A ragged requiem is what I hear
Worlds dissolving in your tear

A worn out toothbrush left behind
Remnant of all our hopes unsigned
Your favourite coat I wear
Who cares when you're not there?
A year bygone tainted years to see
A worn out toothbrush left behind
Remnant of all our hopes unsigned
Your favourite coat I wear
Who cares when you're not there?
You broke the chain in my hour of need
Incomplete
