You Sure Ain't Mine Now - Gareth Liddiard

From the album "Strange Tourist" - 2010


You Sure Ain't Mine Now
Hey - There's a light gone out
Hey - Nothing to get excited about
Hey - There's that one dream that's always the same
Hey - Terrain on terrain on terrain
Oh but where'd all of the fury go
Once it's gone you don't get it back you know
Where did all the fury go?
When she held me like I was her son
You can't lay no claims upon nothing that strayed
Into a path you chanced upon
She didn't break any promises
Though she was right on the brink
And if you ever see her she'll tell you what she thinks
If she's still in the mountains
I don't know where she lives
I'm looking out my window
Through a thundering arch
I'm looking through my window
To all the heavens that lie in the past
Where did all the fury go?
Did it lie did it lie did it lie
And I love you, I love you
I love you anyhow
You weren't mine to begin with
And you sure ain't mine now
Hey - How do you feel
Hey - Since the wounds you loved the taste of have healed
Hey - You're lovely and you're young
Hey - One day you'll have nothing and no one
Oh but where'd all of the fury go
Once it goes you don't get it back you know
She broke my ribs and the bones never knit
It's an honour to even exist
It wasn't the first time she'd pulled one on me
I see her drying her hair in the sun
On a roof in Birmingham
While the cold made me numb
No shoes, no coat, no cares, she don't succumb
No matter how sharp the wind blows
Or how gently it hums
I'm looking out my window
Like I've been shut out by glass
I'm looking out my window
Like there is somebody coming at last
Where did all the fury go?
Without the decency of saying goodbye
And I love you, I love you
I love you anyhow
You weren't mine to begin with
And you sure ain't mine now
Hey - There's a light gone out
Hey - Nothing to get excited about
Hey - I can't quit and I can't drop
Hey - You turn on a pin then next minute you stop
Oh but where'd all of the fury go
Once it goes you don't get it back you know
She left me before
But has come back again
In embers, in hailstones, in time
I don't really care for her that much but then
She makes for an interesting ride
The jet streams will dry out
Planks lean off their sheds
But it's the vanishing part that I
Can't get out of my head
Let life be your mistress
That's all that she said.
