About the Artist
Lyrics
It's so easy, tearing the place apart I'm getting rid of every memory I don't know where to start So many memories all around me Now that you've gone to someone else Give me a reason I should keep Our world that is acres deep In which you touched, in which you saw In which you were It's so easy, tearing the place apart Each square of vinyl that you stepped on Pulled up and thrown away And burned with linen that we slept on All my collections out they go Stamps of all nations where we'd been And we had been everywhere They're ripped in two They're ripped in four They're in the wind It's so easy The walls they enclosed us They're crumbling, they're crumbling I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling Tearing the place apart Tearing the place apart Down come the chandeliers That lit our cozy little dinners Shattered forever more One thing is certain I'll grow thinner No need to eat with company No need to eat at all I guess Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked From soup to nuts, to aubergine [Instrumental Break] The walls they enclosed us They're crumbling, they're tumbling I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling Tearing the place apart Tearing the place apart Tearing the place apart I'll rip the doors off with the hinges Who needs a door at all The world can walk in, and I'll let them Help yourself to a magazine Help yourself to well anything Go and take anything They're only things They're only things They're only things It's so easy
