Obsessions - MARINA

Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette.

Last night’s love affair

Is looking vulnerable in my bed,

Silk sheets, blue dawn,

Colgate, tongue warm.

Won’t you quit your crying?

I can’t sleep,

One minute I’m a little sweetheart

And next minute you are an absolute creep

We’ve got obsessions,

I want to wipe out all the sad ideas

That come to me when I am holding you,

We’ve got obsessions,

All you ever think about are sick ideas

Involving me, involving you

Supermarket, what packet of crackers to pick?

They’re all the same, one brand,

One name, but really they’re not,

Look, look, just choose something quick,

People are staring, time to come quick,

Cheeks are on fire, just choose something,

Pressure overwhelming,

Next minute I am turning out of the door,

Facing one week without food,

A day, a day when things are pretty bad

Don’t let it make you feel sad,

The crackers were probably bad luck anyway,

Can’t let your cold heart be free

When you act like

You’ve got an OCD

We’ve got obsessions,

I want to erase every nasty thought

That bugs me every day of every week,

We’ve got obsessions,

You never tell me What it is that makes you strong

And what it is that makes you weak.

We’ve got obsessions,

I want to erase every nasty thought that bugs me Every day of every week,

We’ve got obsessions,

You never told me what it was

That made you strong

And what it was that made you weak

Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette.

Last night’s love affair is looking

Vulnerable again
