The Stranglers — This Song

[Verse 1] I’m collecting all these feelings for you Put them in a box in a darkened room And seal the lid with an industry-standard glue Make the box into a silent tomb With all these photographs and pictures of you Taken in a car and someone else’s front room [Chorus] This song will get me over you Lift me up and take me out of view This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to This song will get me over you [Verse 2] Take the box into uncharted sеas Far away from all humanity And swear the crew to absolutе secrecy Sink the box down to the ocean floor For maybe 20,000 leagues or more And ban deep-sea diving by an act of law [Chorus] This song will get me over you Lift me up and take me out of view This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to This song will get me over you [Verse 3] I'll trust in Davy Jones’ locker Far away from any grave robber To steal away all my memories of you And all the people they may wonder That I no longer seem to bother And I appear to be completely over you [Chorus] This song will get me over you Lift me up and take me out of view This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to This song will get me over you Lift me up and take me out of view This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to This song will get me over you This song will get me over you This song will get me over you This song will get me over you If that’s what I really wanna do
