Andy: “Written not long after finishing Skylarking. A studio recorded backing track was put down, but no final vocal added (this is the home demo). Aimed at O & L, but quickly drowned under the mass of newer material.”Also available on Fuzzy Warbles Volume One.
Also released on the Blu-ray reissue of Oranges & Lemons on 30 October 2015 in the U.K.Andy: “The first song written for what was to become Oranges And Lemons, it fell by the wayside in preference to other offerings. It obviously had something though, as I always feel a little emotional everytime I hear it.”
[Thanks to R. Stevie Moore]
[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
Everything, everything, everything
We ever thought or said
Went in a box labeled "Us" on a shelf
In the back of your head
Everything, everything, everything
We ever shared or did
Stored in a jar which I swear had "True Love"
Pencilled in on the lid
Now you're saying, now you're saying, now you're saying
That you just don't love me anymore
Has there been a thief in your storehouse
Stealing away our memories?
Everything
Everything, everything, everything
We ever dreamt or planned
You tell me just blew away like
Confetti from some opened hand
Everything, everything, everything
You say you felt for me
Is it all dust and denial
As lifeless as some lunar sea?
Now you're saying, now you're saying, now you're saying
That you just don't love me anymore
Has there been a thief in your storehouse
Stealing away all our memories?
And did he light your lights
And make your bells ring?
And did you let him in
To steal away what we had together?
Just everything
Now you're saying...
Everything
[Thanks to Dave Franson]
