Longpigs - On and On
From the album The Sun Is Often Out (1996)
Lyrics:
All the songs that I've sung you
More often than you Know
You're the love that I've clung to
More often than I've let it show.
And I wish you would leave me
And I wish you would go
And I wish you didn't need me
And I wish I didn't love you so.
Cos I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm
My love for you goes on and on
Theres no-one else I want beside you
Give me your coldest shoulder to cry upon
You're never anywhere I find you
You're never anything I rely upon.
And I wish you would leave me
And I wish you would go
And I wish you didn't need me
And I wish I didn't know.
That I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm
My love for you goes on and on
No I just can't go on
So please ...
