[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
