The Beautiful South
Free For All
If this person that you see
Seems a little blurred
It's 'cos I'm not all here
But not quite there
And if it's like forever
That you're talkin' to yourself
It's not that I feel different
I'm just somewhere else

If I lack certain etiquette
Break all the social laws
This door is off its hinges now
But the choice is yours

If I don't seem focused
Maybe not quite right
If I seem a little distant
Maybe I'm outta sight
If everytime we speak
You seem to draw a blank
It's the ghost of my ex-friends
That you have to thank

If I lack certain etiquette
Break all the social laws
This door is off its hinges now
But the choice is yours
Free for the free ride
That was always given to you
Fall for forgiveness
'Cos Marx forgave you too

And all for almighty god
'Cos god, my aim was true
And full stop for the candle now
And the friendship that you blew
That you blew

Whenever you dig deeper
You just run against the wall
It's 'cos they ripped my soul apart
That's all
If I can't quite place your name
Your face I don't recall
No doubt you know mine is:
Mr. Free For All

If I lack certain etiquette
Break all the social laws
This door is off its hinges now
But the choice is yours

Free for the free ride
That was always given to you
Fall for forgiveness
'Cos Marx forgave you too
And all for almighty god
'Cos god, my aim was true
And full stop for the candle now
And the friendship that you blew
That you blew
