Me Against Me — текст песни (John Wesley Harding)

Tonight the clocks go backwards

And its snowing at home

And were incommunicado

cos they cut off the phone

Were in collaboration

Againt everyone who tries to bring us down

And were sadly incoherent

All our sorrows have been drowned



Got the plane out of atlanta

Stripped the honour bar of booze

Saw the ceiling melt like candles

Dripping wax onto my shoes

Needed proof I was still breathing

So I held my breath for a while

Fell flat on my face on purpose

Just to see somebody smile





And they say that its them and its us

And they say that its you and its me

But now I can see that its me against me

Against me against me against me





I keep your picture in a locket

Heart-shape hanging around my neck

You put it on me last year sometime

Now the catch is just a wreck

My new friends say that you look like me

Of course, theyre right

But youre who I used to be

Sometimes late at night





All the things weve done, think we should own up

How come were old but were not grown up?





I wish I didnt drink so much

Wish I didnt drink at all

Wish I didnt need these smokes

Wish I didnt take those pills

I wish for just one time

My behaviour matched up to my needs

Wish you were alive now

So you could help me





And they say that its them and its us

And theyll tell you its you and its me

But now I can see that its me against me

Against me against me against me
