For The Love Of Big Brother Lyrics

Like a train passing in the distance
Black bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the echo
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

First you see my fingerprints
Like skeletons of leaves on the wall
People changing places
I stand for a moment
And it's gone

I still hear the echo
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

Like a train passing in the distance
Black bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the sound of
Conversations from the hall
Look to see who's coming
But it's nothing
And there's no one there at all
(No one there at all)

These lyrics are slightly off.I'll post the correct ones.

Like a train passing in the distance Like a bird in flight, I hear you call And even though there's no-one Dark shadows move across the wall

I still the echoes of your footsteps on the stairs Still recall the images that seem to linger there

Faces seem like fingerprints Like skeletons of leaves upon the lawn People changing places Lasting for a moment, then it's gone

I still hear the echoes of your footsteps on the stairs Still recall the images that seem to linger there

Like a train passing in the distance Like a bird in flight, I hear you call And even though there's no-one Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the sound of conversation from the hall Look to see who's coming But it's nothing and there's no-one there at all No-one there at all No-one there at all No-one there at all


This is probably my favourite song on the album, along with Doubleplusgood. It's so beautiful and eerie.

Thank you for adding the correct lyrics. One of my favorites too, haunting.
