It Could Be Anyone Lyrics - Go-betweens

One light 

One light's all you need 

to keep the dark out 

One look 

One look's all it takes 

to put the fire out 

Too close and he knew it 

His knowledge cost him everything he had 

Too tired to feel it 

You shake him 

and the only thing that breaks 

You shake him 

and the only thing that breaks 

are bones and bones and bones 

and bones and bones that break 

Almost 

Almost something 

you read and dream about 

Bad luck 

It's just bad luck 

the good luck's all run out 

The noises came and the noises went 

with promises that were heaven sent 

Lies are told when lives are spent 

You shake him 

and the only thing that breaks 

Shake him 

and the only thing that breaks 

are bones and bones and bones 

and bones and bones that break 

You'll never, never, never, never break him 

You'll never, never, never, never take him 

You'll never, never, never, never waste him 

You'll never, never waste him 

You'll never, never take him 

You'll never, never waste him 

You'll never waste him 

One hand, one life 

One hand, one life
