Sparks - Tearing the Place Apart lyrics
[Sparks - Tearing the Place Apart lyrics]
It's so easy tearing the place apart
I'm getting rid of every memory
I don't know where to start
So many memories all around me
Now that you've gone to someone else
Give me a reason I should keep
Our world that is acres deep
In which you touched, in which you saw
In which you were it's so easy
Tearing the place apart
Each square of vinyl that you stepped on
Pulled up and thrown away
And burned with linen that we slept on
All my collections out they go
Stamps of all nations where we'd been
And we had been everywhere
They're ripped in two they're ripped in four
They're in the wind it's so easy
The walls they enclosed us they're crumbling
They're tumbling
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart
Down come the chandeliers
That lit our cozy little dinners
Shattered for ever more - one
Thing is certain - i'll grow thinner
No need to eat with company
No need to eat at all I guess
Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked
From soup to nuts to aubergine
The walls they enclosed us they're crumbling
They're tumbling
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart
I'll rip the doors off with the hinges
Who needs a door at all
The world can walk in and I'll let them
Help yourself to a magazine
Help yourself to anything
Go and take anything they're only things
They're only things they're only things
It's so easy
I'm getting rid of every memory
I don't know where to start
So many memories all around me
Now that you've gone to someone else
Give me a reason I should keep
Our world that is acres deep
In which you touched, in which you saw
In which you were it's so easy
Tearing the place apart
Each square of vinyl that you stepped on
Pulled up and thrown away
And burned with linen that we slept on
All my collections out they go
Stamps of all nations where we'd been
And we had been everywhere
They're ripped in two they're ripped in four
They're in the wind it's so easy
The walls they enclosed us they're crumbling
They're tumbling
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart
Down come the chandeliers
That lit our cozy little dinners
Shattered for ever more - one
Thing is certain - i'll grow thinner
No need to eat with company
No need to eat at all I guess
Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked
From soup to nuts to aubergine
The walls they enclosed us they're crumbling
They're tumbling
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart
I'll rip the doors off with the hinges
Who needs a door at all
The world can walk in and I'll let them
Help yourself to a magazine
Help yourself to anything
Go and take anything they're only things
They're only things they're only things
It's so easy
