I need somebody I love to love me
For reasons unknown
Like the morning headache
And the afternoon zing
I need somebody I love to love me


Too long have I suffered
The cold of air-con halls
That preservation of yearning
And muted things


I need somebody to love me
Somebody I love
For tax purposes
For bed lining rolling
For killing pain
I need somebody to love me


Too long has longing
tore up the seams of night
Stained the carpets of day
Today I値l do it
Today I値l do it
I値l find that one on a train
Somewhere between Newton and Lakeside
I値l go in one and come out twice
I値l go in sunk and swim out dry
I値l plunge in loose and come out right


Because I know somebody I love
Because somebody I know loves me
Because somebody who loves knows me
Because that somebody I love knows
