Lyrics Edwyn Collins – One Track Mind

Darling, I never meant to let you down
I always meant to be around
But somehow you got left behind
Rambling through my one track mind

And I’m writing you this letter
On the hotel headed paper
And I think I’ll go and send it
Maybe sooner, maybe later
In the garden of remembrance
There’s a blackbird singing sweetly
It’s as if he’s trying to tell me
That I’ve fucked it up completely

But darling, I never meant to let you down
I always meant to be around
But somehow you got left behind
Rambling through my one track mind

And I breakfasted on nothing more
Than restless agitation
So I packed up my belongings
And I headed for the station
Overhead the pylons
Were a cracklin’ and a hummin’
It’s as if they’re trying to tell me
That they saw this sucker coming

But darling, I never meant to let you down
I always meant to be around
But somehow you got left behind
Rambling through my one track mind

Once you’ve got on board
There ain’t no turning back
