Albatross Lyrics

Slow motion, slow motion
Getting rid of the albatross
Sowing seeds of discontent
I know you very well
You are unbearable
I've seen you up far too close
Getting rid of the albatross

Frying rear blinds
If I wanted

Should I really
If I run away?
Run away

Riding along on the crest of the wave
Getting rid of the albatross
Another will not forget
I know you very well
Run away, run away
Should I
I run away

Getting rid of the albatross
I know you very well
You are unbearable
I've seen you far too close
If I wanted to, if
Run away, run away
I ran away

I ran away, hiding on carpet
Another soul
Sowing the seeds of discontent

Running away from the albatross
Still the spirit of '68
I ran away, I ran away

Far, far too personal
Should I really stay
Getting rid of the albatross

All stuck

Always lie
Getting rid of
Of the
If I wanted to

Only the lonely, only the lonely
