Lyrics

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

(Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind)

I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them

(Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind)

They were the best times

The harvest years with jam to lace the bread

So goodness, goodness knows why I'd throw it to the birds

But there it is

And there we are

And all I ever want to be is far

From the eyes that ask me

In whose bed you're

Gonna be and

Is it true you

Only see

Desire as a sylph figured creature

Who changes her mind?

Desire as a sylph figured creature

Who changes her mind?

It's perfect as it stands, so why then crush it in your perfect hands?

(Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind)

I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them

I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them

So tell me

You must have thought

It all out in advance

Or goodness

Goodness knows why you'd throw it to the birds

You mock the good things

You play the heart strings

Play them one by one

But there it is

And there we are

And all I ever want to be is far

From the eyes that ask me

In whose bed you

Gonna be and

Is it true you

Only see

Desire as a sylph figured creature

Who changes her mind?

It's perfect as it stands

So why then crush it in your perfect hands?

(Desire as a sylph figured creature

Who changes her mind)

In whose bed you

Gonna be and

Is it true you

Only see

Desire as a sylph figured creature

Who changes her mind?

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

It's perfect as it stands

So why then crush it in your perfect hands?

(Desire as a sylph figured creature

Who changes her mind)

Desire as a sylph figured creature

Who changes her mind

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

(It's perfect as it stands

So why then crush it in your perfect hands?)

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

I've got six things on my mind

You're no longer one of them

(Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind)
