lyrics

You used to cast all my shadows
Even the ones under my eyes
But it’s okay, it’s okay
I can turn on the lights

No need to go to the cinema
Watch TV to anaesthetise my mind
It’s okay, it’s okay
I can turn on the lights

You used to star in every film
We ever we went to see
But it’s okay, it’s okay
I can close my eyes

No need to go to the cinema
Watch TV to anaesthetise my mind
It’s okay, it’s okay
I can close my eyes

You used to be in every book
I ever lent you
But it’s okay, it’s okay
I’ve written you out

No need to go to the cinema
Watch TV to anaesthetise my mind
It’s okay, it’s okay
I’ve written you out

You used to be in all the song lyrics
We ever listened to
But it’s okay I can make my own noise
To drown you out

No need to go to the cinema
Watch TV to anaesthetise my mind
It’s okay, it’s okay
I can drown you out

You used to pave every street
We ever walked down
But it’s okay, it’s okay, I live in
A different city now

No need to go to the cinema
Watch TV to anaesthetise my mind
It’s okay, it’s okay, I live in
A different city now

When I was at school I didn't say very much, but wrote copiously. My ambitions were to be editor of the Times, a rock 'n' roll music journalist or on Top of the Pops. I felt like if you weren't loud you were ignored, but my year 9 English teacher, Mr Hodgkins, noticed that I did have things to say. He once said he knew that I was 'no shrinking violet' so I decided to be a 'Shrieking Violet'. ... more
