about

This is the roughest recording I've released, as only a very low quality MP3 survives. It's been restored and boosted as much as possible... but it's pretty rough, and this is as good as it's going to get. I like the song, so I've included it -plus it's actually about moving to Berlin, so it's the perfect song to start this collection.

lyrics

I WAS OVER MYSELF
I HAD TO START AGAIN
STUCK A PIN A MAP, I HIT BERLIN.
I BOOKED INTO A CIRCUS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THINGS
AND GOT LOST
IN A DREAM.

WELL, IN THE END I WOKE UP
AND WONDERED-
WHY BERLIN?
'CAUSE IT'S NO BETTER THAN MOST PLACES
THAT I'VE EVER BEEN.
I CHANGED CONDITIONS AND DIRECTIONS
AS FAR AS I COULD SEE,
BUT WORSE LUCK- I BROUGHT ME.

BUT WHY'D I GO AND MOVE HERE IN THE WINTER TIME?
'CAUSE THE DAYS ARE DARK AND THE SUN NEVER SHINES
I MUST HAVE HAD A REASON, BUT IT'S SLIPPED MY MIND
YET AGAIN

I GET A KICK FROM THE CHANGE
I MOVE ALONG.
AND I'M MORE COMFORTABLE WHEN
I KNOW NO ONE.
YOU START ALL OVER AGAIN, YOU KILL YOURSELF.
YOU START ALL OVER AGAIN, REMAKE YOURSELF.
I GET A KICK FROM THE CHANGE
I MOVE ALONG.
AND I'M MORE COMFORTABLE WHEN
I KNOW NO ONE.
ITS HARD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO JUST WON'T LET YOU BE...
BUT I'M MAKIN' IT EASIER FOR ME.

BUT WHY'D I GO AND MOVE HERE IN THE WINTER TIME?
'CAUSE THE DAYS ARE DARK AND THE SUN NEVER SHINES
I MUST HAVE HAD A REASON, BUT IT'S SLIPPED MY MIND
YET AGAIN
BUT WHY'D I GO AND MOVE HERE IN THE WINTER TIME?
'CAUSE THE DAYS ARE DARK AND THE SUN NEVER SHINES
I MUST HAVE HAD A REASON, BUT IT'S SLIPPED MY MIND
YET AGAIN
