When I Was Dead Lyrics - Hitchcock Robyn

When I was dead I wore a strong perfume 

When I was dead I never left the room 

And I saw the aapples hanging like moments in the orchard 

But falling into action, the moment soon is over-no returns 

When I was dead I wasn't interested in sex 

I didn't even care what happened next 

I was free as a penny whistle, and silent as the glove 

I wasn't me to speak of, just a thousand ancient feelings 

That vanished into nothing-and love 

When I was dead somebody took my hand 

I couldn't see his face I took his hand 

And the Devil asked me to supper-he said, "Careful with the spoons!" 

And God said, "Oh, ignore him! I've got all your albums." 

I said, "Yes, but who's got all the tunes?" 

When I was dead
