Tearing the Place Apart

It's so easy
Tearing the place apart
I'm getting rid of every memory
I don't know where to start
So many memories all around me
Now that you've gone to someone else
Give me a reason I should keep, our world that is acres deep
In which you touched, in which you saw, in which you were
It's so easy

Tearing the place apart
Each square of vinyl that you stepped on
Pulled up and thrown away
And burned with linen that we slept on
All my collections out they go
Stamps of all nations where we'd been
And we had been everywhere
They're ripped in two
They're ripped in four
They're in the wind
It's so easy

The walls they enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart

Down come the chandeliers
That lit our cozy little dinners
Shattered for ever more - one thing is certain -
I'll grow thinner
No need to eat with company
No need to eat at all I guess
Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked
From soup to nuts to aubergine....

The walls they enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart

Tearing the place apart
I'll rip the doors off with the hinges
Who needs a door at all

The world can walk in and I'll let them
Help yourself to a magazine
Help yourself to anything
Go and take anything
They're only things
They're only things
They're only things

It's so easy...
