This Song - The Stranglers, Dave Greenfield, Jean-Jacques Burnel

I’m collecting all these feelings for you

Put them in a box in a darkened room

And seal the lid with an industry-standard glue

Make the box into a silent tomb

With all these photographs and pictures of you

Taken in a car and someone else’s front room

This song will get me over you

Lift me up and take me out of view

This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice

But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to

This song will get me over you

Take the box into uncharted seas

Far away from all humanity

And swear the crew to absolute secrecy

Sink the box down to the ocean floor

For maybe 20,000 leagues or more

And ban deep-sea diving by an act of law

This song will get me over you

Lift me up and take me out of view

This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice

But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to

This song will get me over you

I’ll trust in Davy Jones' locker

Far from any grave robber

To steal away all the memories of you

And all the people they may wonder

That I no longer seem to bother

And I appear to be completely over you

This song will get me over you

Lift me up and take me out of view

This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice

But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to

This song will get me over you

Lift me up and take me out of view

This song that says that she’ll hurt you once or twice

But she’ll never be with you the way you want her to

This song will get me over you

This song will get me over you

This song will get me over you

This song will get me over you

If that’s what I really wanna do
