Lyrics Peter Hammill

Peter Hammill

Somebody Bad Enough

Somebody Bad Enough

I keep your picture in the back of the book

as index to my hidden pages;

a secret life

is where we meet

and I'll not let you go.

I know you think that I'm a bit of a creep

but I will grow on you in stages

until you recognise that we're both in so deep

that it's contagious.

And if you love somebody bad enough

I believe in the end they will offer you in their lives.

I keep the website stocked with pictures of you;

I love to scan your shocked expression.

I know that you're the only one

who really understands

all about possession.

And if you love somebody bad enough

you will follow their footsteps wherever they're going in life;

and if you love somebody bad enough

I believe in the end they let you in their lives.

And if you love somebody bad enough

you will follow their footsteps wherever they lead you in life;

and, yes, I love somebody bad enough

I believe in the end you will let me in your life.
