[00:28.826]When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months
[00:35.931]She arrived one February morning
[00:38.491]Pale and shellshocked
[00:40.895]From past lives I could not imagine
[00:46.119]She was 3 years older than me
[00:48.836]But in no time we became friends
[00:54.243]We'd listen to her mix tapes:
[00:57.665]Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil
[01:05.946]She introduced me to her favourite books
[01:09.368]Gave me clothes
[01:12.451]And my first cigarette
[01:17.832]Sometimes
[01:20.131]We would head down to Blackbirds Moor
[01:23.396]To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight
[01:30.005]She said, "The water has no memory"
[01:39.670]For a few months everything about our lives was perfect
[01:44.033]It was only us
[01:45.966]We were inseparable
[01:56.702]But, gradually
[01:59.053]She passed into another distant part of my memory
[02:05.688]Until I could no longer remember her face
[02:09.397]Her voice, even her name
[02:13.525]
[02:16.111]We've got
[02:22.798]We've got a perfect life
[02:29.512]We've got
[02:36.042]We've got a perfect life
[02:42.756]We've got
[02:49.391]We've got a perfect life
[02:56.078]We've got (we've got)
[03:02.766]We've got a perfect life
[03:09.479]We've got (we've got)
[03:16.114]We've got a perfect life
[03:22.802]We've got (we've got)
[03:29.411]We've got a perfect life
[03:36.176]We've got (we've got)

[03:49.394]We've got (we've got)
[03:56.134]We've got a perfect life

When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months
She arrived one February morning
Pale and shellshocked
From past lives I could not imagine
She was 3 years older than me
But in no time we became friends
We'd listen to her mix tapes:
Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil
She introduced me to her favourite books
Gave me clothes
And my first cigarette
Sometimes
We would head down to Blackbirds Moor
To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight
She said, "The water has no memory"
For a few months everything about our lives was perfect
It was only us
We were inseparable
But, gradually
She passed into another distant part of my memory
Until I could no longer remember her face
Her voice, even her name
We've got
We've got a perfect life
We've got
We've got a perfect life
We've got
We've got a perfect life
We've got (we've got)
We've got a perfect life

We've got a perfect life
We've got (we've got)
We've got a perfect life
