  • I'll give you each love letter back
    We'll laugh before every joke is told
    We'll pose after every photograph
    Has been removed from the negative

    With every smile we lose a line
    Watch the stars fall back into the sky
    Cork the wine
    Unbake a cake
    Take the dog back to the RSPCA

    But I don't mind losing you this time

    I'll meet you coming backwards
    Yes I'll meet you coming back
    When the universe has expanded
    Time will contract
    You'll come back
    And I'll meet you coming backwards
    Next time

    We make-up, start an argument
    Tears crawl back into your...
    I turn from a friend
    Of your friend
    Unintroduced
    Forget your name forevermore

    But I don't mind losing you this time

    I'll meet you coming backwards
    Yes I'll meet you coming back
    When the universe has expanded
    Time will contract
    You'll come back
    And I'll meet you coming backwards
    Yes I'll meet you coming back
    But we move forwards
    Into emptiness
    Into the void
    Into the universe

    We'll part as happy strangers
    From a long friendship
    That grew from such a love
    From such a love
    From such a love
    Such a love
    From such a Writer/s: ALEXANDER PAUL KAPRANOS HUNTLEY, NICHOLAS JOHN MCCARTHY, PAUL ROBERT THOMPSON, ROBERT HARDY
