The Comsat Angels - Pictures lyrics

It wasn't out of cruelty I said goodbye today But the pictures were turning yellow I helped them on their way The wind picks up the pieces Blows them all around Breathe in the smoke,then breathe it out I tore out all the pages one by one Put them in the fire Light shines almost brighter than before One more time one more time These times insult you With their doubts and fears So I thought I'd stop them Before they got too near Scratch at your memory whisper in the dark They are everywhere And they are nowhere I tore out all the pages one by one Put them in the fire Light shines almost brighter then before One more time one more time I was tired of explaining Why you were still around There were no more excuses to be made The time has pa**ed And it can be unkind You didn't look so graceful in your old age Tear out all the pages one by one Put them in the fire Light shines almost brighter then before One more time one more time
