Lid – Andy Gordon
(capo 2nd fret)

This is a song, just like all my other songs
and it details all the sordid details.
And it goes like this, a girl that I once knew,
she left a mark on me then one night I saw her on T.V.

It wasn't as if there hadn't been plenty of opportunities.
But for the honour of honouring my twisted belief in what you believe in.
So it sits four years in the back of my mind.
It eats through the dark and out into the day.

All of this was under a lid, until you came back
(and then it starts again).
I have to turn around and take a good look down.

As a matter of fact I left my girl for you.
For some squalid hope that this would bring good news.
But like a wallflower my love still sits
it sits on this fence singing this song for you.

All of this was under a lid, until you came back
(and then it starts again).
Until I saw your face, I saw you on T.V..
Could we kiss?
