lyrics

"I know we've never met before, but I recongnise your face
I'd seen you just one second and I knew
You had the look of someone else whose name I cannot trace
But what does the name of Gustav mean to you?"

And she went on, and she went on
And she went on I thought she was insane
Her mind was gone, so far gone
Still the memory of Gustav remained

"I think I saw you on T.V. it was just the other day,
The day that plane crashed on its way to Spain
A documentary on BBC, the one about the war
Or then again, was it on Channel 4"

And she went on, and she went on
And she went on I thought she was insane
Her mind was gone, so far gone
Still the memory of Gustav remained

"It's coming back, it's coming back
A gentleman, dressed all in black
A good man, a strong man
But they shot him dead, they shot him dead"

I thanked the gods a thousand times when she got off the train
And begged them "take me if I get that way"
Then my thoughts turned to Gustav, though he may have died in vain
He found himself embedded in her brain
And he found himself embedded in her brain
And he found himself embedded in my brain
