Following the demise of any relationship, it is inevitable that one or both parties feels somewhat diminished. With colourful metaphor and language, I explore the idea of being weakened by the departure of a loved one.
lyrics
Baby, back when you were around,
You inspired me to get physically fit,
Look at me now: I'm in bits.
I wrote that song, wrote it for ya,
When it came out in Japan it was a hit,
Now my career is in bits.
I wish that you'd stayed (oh-oh-oh),
I wish that you'd stayed (oh-oh-oh),
I wish you had stayed,
So I could love you 'til the end.
Put out my back, put out my back,
While raising my sunken heart,
Won't you come back, won't you come back,
Help me finish what I start?
Look at me shake, look at me shake,
It's heavy on my hips,
Darling, I'm in bits.
Just so I could kiss your big toe,
I'd crawl through half a mile of shit,
Baby, my knees are in bits.
I used to talk to everyone,
I would evertain 'em all with my dry wit,
But I've been twice shy since I got bit.
I wish that you'd stayed (oh-oh-oh),
I wish that you'd stayed (oh-oh-oh),
I wish you had stayed,
So I could love you 'til the end.
Put out my back, put out my back,
While raising my sunken heart,
Won't you come back, won't you come back,
Help me finish what I start?
Look at me shake, look at me shake,
It's heavy on my hips,
Darling, I'm in bits,
Darling, I'm in bits.
