Me Against Me Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Tonight the clocks go backwards 

And it's snowing at home 

And we're incommunicado 

'cos they cut off the phone 

We're in collaboration 

Againt everyone who tries to bring us down 

And we're sadly incoherent 

All our sorrows have been drowned 

Got the plane out of atlanta 

Stripped the honour bar of booze 

Saw the ceiling melt like candles 

Dripping wax onto my shoes 

Needed proof I was still breathing 

So I held my breath for a while 

Fell flat on my face on purpose 

Just to see somebody smile 

And they say that it's them and it's us 

And they say that it's you and it's me 

But now I can see that it's me against me 

Against me against me against me 

I keep your picture in a locket 

Heart-shape hanging around my neck 

You put it on me last year sometime 

Now the catch is just a wreck 

My new friends say that you look like me 

Of course, they're right 

But you're who I used to be 

Sometimes late at night 

All the things we've done, think we should own up 

How come we're old but we're not grown up? 

I wish I didn't drink so much 

Wish I didn't drink at all 

Wish I didn't need these smokes 

Wish I didn't take those pills 

I wish for just one time 

My behaviour matched up to my needs 

Wish you were alive now 

So you could help me 

And they say that it's them and it's us 

And they'll tell you it's you and it's me 

But now I can see that it's me against me 

Against me against me against me
