Lyrics
Come over and tell us a story
Of how you came to be
Wipe the stain from the glass
Of what has come and what has passed
Go on there, fetch us a memory
The voice of an ocean roared
In a wave of cathartic release
I am here
I am here
I am here
I was tied to a radiator for fifteen years
Sweating poetry to subside the burning sensation
Forming my creations at the stations of the cross
And in the end a broken body carried me through the loss
So come over and tell us a story
Of how you came to be
Wipe the stain from the glass
Of what has come and what has passed
Go on there, fetch us a memory
A flickering faded response
Tripped out and fell on deaf ears
I am here
I am here
I am here
There's nothing like the story every lesion has to tell
A coliseum surgeon tore me asunder
And I fumbled my way plundering through the dark
Collecting the fragments of every stranger in passing who left their mark
So come over and tell us a story
Of how you came to be
Wipe the stain from the glass
Of what has come and what has passed
Go on there, fetch us a memory
And from the remnants of council houses
Came the chorus we've been taught to fear
We are here, we are here, we are here, we are here
We are here, we are here, we are here we are, we are here
We are here, we are here, we are here
Everybody surrounded by nobody
We are here, we are here, we are here
We are here, we are here, we are here
So come over and tell us a story
Of how you came to be
Wipe the stain from the glass
Of what has come and what has passed
Go on there, fetch us a memory
