Lyrics

Babble

From Join The Dots: The B-Sides & Rarities1989

Written by Boris Williams, Lol Tolhurst, Pearl Thompson, Robert Smith, Roger O’Donnell, Simon Gallup

Produced by Dave Allen, Robert Smith

Lyrics

Babble

[Verse 1] Nothing ever changes, nothing ever moves I swim around in circles in the same old lifeless room And talk about the mirror man, the whispers in my ear again The hot and sticky pillow man is smothering my face again [Verse 2] Nothing ever changes, nothing ever moves And I run around hysterical in dead persistent gloom And babble out in simile like dog-head-monkey-music me Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up and let me breathe
