One Track Mind - Edwyn Collins

Darling, I never meant to let you down

I always meant to be around

But somehow you got left behind

Rambling through my one track mind

And I’m writing you this letter

On the hotel headed paper

And I think I’ll go and send it

Maybe sooner, maybe later

In the garden of remembrance

There’s a blackbird singing sweetly

It’s as if he’s trying to tell me

That I’ve fucked it up completely

But darling, I never meant to let you down

I always meant to be around

But somehow you got left behind

Rambling through my one track mind

And I breakfasted on nothing more

Than restless agitation

So I packed up my belongings

And I headed for the station

Overhead the pylons

Were a cracklin' and a hummin'

It’s as if they’re trying to tell me

That they saw this sucker coming

But darling, I never meant to let you down

I always meant to be around

But somehow you got left behind

Rambling through my one track mind

Once you’ve got on board

There ain’t no turning back

So tie me to the sleepers

Of the old single track
