lyrics

You'd smiled but not stopped
to make small talk with the girl
you used to know at secondary school
she just wanted to chat
about the weather or something like that
but you were busy making up important plans

being late home could've caused a catastrophic missing
of that show circled in red pen in the t.v listing

You'd humoured the teenage boy
bored at the checkout
with one word answers about your holiday
You'd done your shop for the week
barely even having to speak
and it was two for one on microwave meals

You were pleased by how coy you'd behaved
and all those precious little minutes so skill-fully saved

But how sad it is unlocking
your studio flat front door
how cold how long your shadow on the floor
how the disconnected phone
laughs at you all alone
how the sofa nearly swallows you alive

You're a ghost you're a ghost
you're invisible to most
you're a ghost living by the coast
you're a ghost
