Careless Memories (Live) [Top of the Pops - 1981/05/21]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] So soon Just after you've gone My senses sharpen But it always takes So damned long Before I feel how much My eyes have darkened [Pre-Chorus 1] Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room [Chorus] So easy to disturb With a thought With a whisper With a careless memory With a careless memory [Verse 2] On the table Signs of love life scattered And the walls break We go crashing within It's not as though As though you really mattered But being close How could I let you go Without some feeling Some precious sympathy following [Pre-Chorus 1] Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room [Chorus] So easy to disturb With a thought With a whisper With a careless memory With a careless memory With a careless memory With a careless memory [Interlude] [Verse 3] Oh, I walk out into the sun I try to find a new day But the whole place It just screams in my eyes Where are you now? 'Cause I don't want to meet you I think I'd die I think I'd laugh at you I know I'd cry What am I supposed to do? Follow you? [Pre-Chorus 2] Outside the thoughts come brooding back now I just try to forget you [Chorus] So easy to disturb With a thought With a whisper With a careless memory With a careless memory With a careless memory With a careless memory With a careless memory
