It Could Be Anyone - Lyrics by Go-Betweens


Lyrics
One light
One light's all you needto keep the dark out
One look
One look's all it takesto put the fire out
Too close and he knew it
His knowledge cost him everything he had
Too tired to feel it
You shake himand the only thing that breaks
You shake himand the only thing that breaksare bones and bones and bonesand bones and bones that break
Almost
Almost somethingyou read and dream about
Bad luck
It's just bad luckthe good luck's all run out
The noises came and the noises wentwith promises that were heaven sent
Lies are told when lives are spent
You shake himand the only thing that breaks
Shake himand the only thing that breaksare bones and bones and bonesand bones and bones that break
You'll never, never, never, never break him
You'll never, never, never, never take him
You'll never, never, never, never waste him
You'll never, never waste him
You'll never, never take him
You'll never, never waste him
You'll never waste him
One hand, one life
One hand, one life
