Go-Betweens, The – As Long as That

were you born or just conceived?

whatever comes, crosses me

there’s no routine, I’ve never lived like this

what can I say?

there’s lightning on the hill tonight

over in the west

the colour changes shape and slides

I’m not stuck to be inspired by her or by me

get this, and how, I’m lifted way way down

too tired to say too weak to speak

I’ve got a feeling, sounds like a fact

it’s been around as long as that

there is a notion you’ve got it too

it’s been around as long as that

where can you go?

the thunder settles in and waits

trams on the rattle

windows banging shut like gates

slap my face use your lungs

she brought me more to life

you think I’m young I’m not half those things

why did it rain?

the days ran away from us

heaven never knew

the chances that it left for us

fast and slow, breeze to wind

wrapped beneath her

you take charge

I’ll put you at ease

too tired to say too weak to speak

I’ve got a feeling, sounds like a fact

it’s been around as long as that

there is a notion you’ve got it too

it’s been around as long as that

what can I say?

there’s lightning on the hill tonight

over in the west

the colour changes shape and slides

think of someone and double it

that’s what I did

get this and how, I’m lifted way way down

too tired to say too weak to speak

I’ve got a feeling, sounds like a fact

it’s been around as long as that

there is a notion you’ve got it too

it’s been around as long as that

as long, as long, as long,

as long as that

what’s wrong, what’s wrong, what’s wrong

what’s wrong with that
