Lyrics Mick Harvey

Mick Harvey

Boomerang

Have you never been there?

It’s the first symptom,

I read that somewhere

A jam session of percussionists

It is in my eyes, the image reversed

I say to him “neither you nor you”, I tell him “her”.

She has to know, you have to know at the same time that I love you

But it is not possible to also be a jerk.

Delirium, that’s what I have!

I drive you out of my thoughts

I reject you, I run away

But you return to me, you come back yet again

Like a boomerang

If you could strike yet again

One mortal blow for evermore

To stop my life so you won’t come back again

Like a boomerang

Sometimes I believe I’m cured

I feel my heart no longer beats

I rest until that day comes

Between life and love

Take in pity this poor love

Complete it well one good time

Go away, yes, go away, don’t come back again

Like a boomerang
