Effigy

Stones tied to my shoes

They pull me down

Though I don't refuse

When you're all around

Tried to make a truce

But you don't care

Men come, men don't stay

When they feel you're there

And if two of us have a chemistry

There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy

And it's undermining everything

All the things I thought we could have been

And if two of us have a chemistry

There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy

And it's undermining everything

All the things I knew I couldn't see

But I see it, goes around and around and around

Yeah I see it, goes around and around

And it's good for nothing, what's the use?

Do you feel it?

Goes around and around and around

All the boys that fall for me every week

Disappear when they see the effigy

And a part of me that won't see the truth

Digs in deeper and deeper to try to get to you

But I don't blame them for wanting something more

Now I've realised why they're so unsure

All the boys that fall for me every week

Disappear when they see the effigy

But I see it

Yeah I see it

Good for nothing

(And now I see, and now I see)

Good for nothing

(And now I see, and now I see)

Goes around and around and around

And if two of us have a chemistry

There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy

And it's undermining everything

All the things I thought we could have been

And if two of us have a chemistry

There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy

And it's undermining everything

All the things I knew I couldn't see

Good for nothing
