The James Clark Institute - Splinter In The Soul lyrics

Clark When rejection becomes obsession, your whole world is consumed With photographs and epitaphs and her face painted on the moon When rejection becomes obsession, you waste away the afternoon Listening to Beck's ‘Sea Change' and stepping on balloons. When rejection becomes obsession, you're awake in the wee small hours Like Sinatra in '55, over your own Ava Gardner When rejection becomes obsession, your disposition turns sour You lose all will to live like her fading favourite flower. Like a splinter in the soul The likeness is unbearable You only need one good pull to be free. Like a splinter in the soul The likeness is unbearable You only need one good pull to be free. When rejection becomes obsession, your blood is on the tracks And the walls and the bridges and anything by Bacharach When rejection's your only connection to a checkered past You become the forgotten forgetting nothing ever lasts. Like a splinter in the soul The likeness is unbearable Like a splinter in the soul, like a splinter in the soul. TV's a drug that makes you dumb but if it helps me forget you then give me some TV's a drug that makes you dumb but if it helps me forget you then give me some.
