Back to the basics

Carry me onto
My deathbed
Be gentle
Be sen-ti-mental

Sing those sad words once again
To my favourite run down song
On the top of the list
To be played at my funeral

So shush, everyone take a moment to remember me
AS I WAS
Slow down and take a breathe
As I move on

[CHORUS]
Move along, to the place where I'll sleep for a million years
Cherish each and every one of your tears
The sadness brings me comfort
Alligned in my slat bed
I've gone back to basics

No one can make me move

Now it's just blackness
Velvet ropes and guitars
My old fragrance
Smouldered by dirt

Can you hear my footsteps?
Those few I took
Before I fell into you're arms
And screamed I couldn't take it anymore?

No shush, everyone take a moment to remember me
AS I WAS
Slow down and take a breathe
As I move on

[CHORUS]
Move along, to the place where I'll sleep for a million years
Cherish each and every one of your tears
The sadness brings me comfort
Alligned in my slat bed
I've gone back to basics

No one can make me move

So I can't hear a thing
So what do I care
Why should I carry this burdon?
you gave me
You named me
Then shamed me
For all it's worth
For all of my worth
I think you look beautiful tonight...

No shush, everyone take a moment to remember us
AS WE WERE
Slow down and take a breathe
As we move on;

Move along, to the place where we'll sleep for a million years
Cherish each and every one of your tears
The sadness brings us comfort
Alligned in our slat beds
Forced back to basics

No one can make us move
