Go, get your coat, get my address book
There’s still some numbers that I haven’t tried
Still some bridges left for burning
Some old flames that didn’t die

You spoke of lies and of deception
I didn’t love you and I… might have said
But you were striving for perfection
So we compromised instead

Maybe I’m lying to myself
Maybe I don’t need no-one else
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do

Maybe it’s you that’s all I need
Some kind of love that’s guaranteed
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do
But there’s other ghosts than you

Go, get the gum, I’ll get my scrapbook
There’s still some cuttings that I haven’t filed
Not just remarks that get remembered
Not just jokes that make you cry

You need to quantify the question
See, I’ve forgotten what we’re fighting for
Was it freedom of expression?
Or was that a different war?

Maybe I’m lying to myself
Maybe I don’t need no-one else
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do

Maybe it’s you that’s all I need
Some kind of love that’s guaranteed
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do
But there’s other ghosts than you

I spent one evening here without you
Telling myself that things were looking up
Some little Juliet Bravado
With my fingers in her cups

She said, “I’ll show you what you’re missing”
Then as my wandering hands were heading South
She said, “This doesn’t count as kissing
I’m just whispering in your mouth”

Maybe I’m lying to myself
Maybe I don’t need no-one else
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do

Maybe it’s you that’s all I need
Some kind of love that’s guaranteed
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do
But there’s other ghosts than you

Look on the wardrobe for your suitcase
Pack all the things that you think you might need
And all the gifts that I once gave you
Have been given back to me

I spent a long time in the doorway
Watched your footsteps as they disappeared
The birds are flying South for Winter
But they’ll be back again next year

Maybe I’m lying to myself
Maybe I don’t need no-one else
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do

Maybe it’s you that’s all I need
Some kind of love that’s guaranteed
Maybe that’s true
Maybe I do
But there’s other ghosts than you

Other ghosts than you

…other ghosts…
