There are a couple of thoughts that storm the gates Every time I open my eyes late In the morning I'm not yet quite awake But my mind is already going The first is the last image of your face A file I keep on trying to erase But it's grown A record of its own It self-duplicates I don't want you I don't need you That is all that I've been saying I could forget that I've seen you If it wasn't for my Obstinate brain There were a couple of things I couldn't say When last we spoke at Adelaide and Bay Just then the cross light changed And we both had to get going To be fair I didn't ask you to wait To be honest I didn't even want it I just wanted you to Turn around and Hunt me down and Throw me in a bus right out of town I don't want you I don't need you That is all that I've been saying I don't want you, go away I could forget that I've seen you If it wasn't for my Obstinate brain And now everything I think is a little bit damp Everything I say has got a little less command Everything I do is only an imitation Of what I wish I'd done And now everything I see is a little bit dull Every breath I take is just a little void and null And when you're here I kick into gear As if I feel nothing at all Because I don't want you I don't need you That is all that I've been saying I don't want you Go away I could forget that I've seen you If it wasn't for my Obstinate brain
