about

This was The Cagneys attempt at a Banshees / Killing Joke type tune, with driving bass and tom-toms. It was the only autobiographical love song I wrote as a teenager, documenting a brief fling with a blue-haired, posh, punk girl from Eaglescliffe, who toyed with my affections depending on the swings of her moods...

lyrics

YOU & YOURSELF - Lyrics
-------------------------------

The last time I saw that look in your eyes I could feel the same thing
A motionless unease of stale cool air I could feel it coming
And as you come, nearer and nearer right up to me
I try to run but my legs are dead and my body’s a freeze

The you I love has disappeared
The you I fear has returned
Your other self scares me to death
Split second you turn

You and yourself

I tried to convince myself that it couldn’t happen again
But it seems that hoping against hope hasn’t broken the chain
And as you look, deeper and deeper right into me
I can see your empty lonely gaze
No not again please don’t hurt me

The you I love has disappeared
The you I fear has returned
Your other self scares me to death
Split second you turn

You and yourself
