| [00:28.826] |
When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months |
| [00:35.931] |
She arrived one February morning |
| [00:38.491] |
Pale and shellshocked |
| [00:40.895] |
From past lives I could not imagine |
| [00:46.119] |
She was 3 years older than me |
| [00:48.836] |
But in no time we became friends |
| [00:54.243] |
We'd listen to her mix tapes: |
| [00:57.665] |
Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil |
| [01:05.946] |
She introduced me to her favourite books |
| [01:09.368] |
Gave me clothes |
| [01:12.451] |
And my first cigarette |
| [01:17.832] |
Sometimes |
| [01:20.131] |
We would head down to Blackbirds Moor |
| [01:23.396] |
To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight |
| [01:30.005] |
She said, "The water has no memory" |
| [01:39.670] |
For a few months everything about our lives was perfect |
| [01:44.033] |
It was only us |
| [01:45.966] |
We were inseparable |
| [01:56.702] |
But, gradually |
| [01:59.053] |
She passed into another distant part of my memory |
| [02:05.688] |
Until I could no longer remember her face |
| [02:09.397] |
Her voice, even her name |
| [02:13.525] |
|
| [02:16.111] |
We've got |
| [02:22.798] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [02:29.512] |
We've got |
| [02:36.042] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [02:42.756] |
We've got |
| [02:49.391] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [02:56.078] |
We've got (we've got) |
| [03:02.766] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [03:09.479] |
We've got (we've got) |
| [03:16.114] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [03:22.802] |
We've got (we've got) |
| [03:29.411] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [03:36.176] |
We've got (we've got) |
| [03:42.733] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [03:49.394] |
We've got (we've got) |
| [03:56.134] |
We've got a perfect life |
| [04:04.049] |
