Some Place Else
Saint Etienne
You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone (1993)

Thanks to patrick for a correction!


You can tell me a thousand times, or more, / it's all in the past, /
but words just won't convince me, / I'm smarter than that! /
And any fool can see / that even though you're here with me, /
your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. /
Your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. /


I know the place; / I was there once /
but I don't think / I'll ever see it again. /
Your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. /
Your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. /


Since the first time I heard her name I knew / we'd never be the same, /
and I know to who you say it, now / it's started again. /
And any fool can see / that you have given up on me; /
your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. /
Your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. /


I know the girl / who's in my place, /
and I know / I can never face her again. /
Your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. /
Your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. /
(Your mind, your mind's / on someone else. /
Your mind, your mind's / on someone else.)
