Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slow motion, slow motion
Getting rid of the albatross
Sowing seeds of discontent
I know you very well
You are unbearable
I've seen you up far too close
Getting rid of the albatross
[Verse 2]
Frying rear blinds
If I wanted
[Verse 3]
Should I really?
If I run away
Run away
[Verse 4]
Riding along on the crest of the wave
Getting rid of the albatross
Another will not forget
I know you very well
Run away, run away
Should I?
I run away
[Verse 5]
Getting rid of the albatross
I know you very well
You are unbearable
I've seen you far too close
If I wanted to, if
Run away, run away
I ran away
[Verse 6]
I ran away, hiding on carpet
Another soul
Sowing the seeds of discontent
[Verse 7]
Running away from the albatross
Still the spirit of '68
I ran away, I ran away
[Verse 8]
Far, far too personal
Should I really stay
Getting rid of the albatross
[Refrain]
Albatross
[Verse 9]
Always lie
Getting rid of
Of the
If I wanted to
[Outro]
Only the lonely, only the lonely
