Lyrics
Every day of every year you live your life in hope and fear
That each small sin and imperfection is buried deep beyond detection
But one by one the ghosts return, and each selects its place to burn
Into your soft and breaking heart, and this is how the aching starts
The jokes about the ugly kid
The things you said but never did
The people torn and crushed and battered
The ones you broke but should've flattered
Oh, you should have run whilst you had time
Oh, you should have left the past behind
The boy from the chemist is here to see you
The laughing stops cause he's too near you
The girl you left that always loved you
Returns to earth from miles above you now
So wash away the dirty skin, there's always worse remains within
The tangled web and bitter mesh, but each shall have their pound of flesh
No sympathy, no charity, no false pleas of humility
No money back, no guarantee, no great escape for you and me
Oh, you should have run whilst you had time
Oh, you should have left the past behind
The boy from the chemist is here to see you
The laughing stops cause he's too near you
The girl you left that always loved you
Returns to earth from miles above you now
And everyone that's ever suffered, friend or foe or wives or lovers
They'll come back to have their day
In time you find your mind has no escape
Don't believe that you can hide, don't believe they'll be denied
They'll come knocking at your door, this is what they've waited for
The chance to even up the score
The boy from the chemist is here to see you
The laughing stops cause he's too near you
The girl you left that always loved you
Returns to earth from miles above you now
And everyone that's ever suffered, friend or foe or wives or lovers
They'll come back to have their day
In time you find your mind has no escape
