Tearing The Place Apart - Sparks

It’s so easy

Tearing the place apart

I’m getting rid of every memory

I don’t know where to start

So many memories all around me

Now that you’ve gone to someone else

Give me a reason I should keep, our world that is acres deep,

In which you touched, in which you saw, in which you were

It’s so easy

Tearing the place apart

Each square of vinyl that you stepped on

Pulled up and thrown away

And burned with linen that we slept on

All my collections out they go

Stamps of all nations where we’d been

And we had been everywhere

They’re ripped in two

They’re ripped in four

They’re in the wind

It’s so easy

(chorus) the walls they enclosed us they’re crumbling, they’re tumbling,

I’m stumbling, I’m crumbling

Tearing the place apart

Tearing the place apart

Down come the chandeliers

That lit our cozy little dinners

Shattered for ever more — one thing is certain —

I’ll grow thinner

No need to eat with company

No need to eat at all I guess

Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked

From soup to nuts to aubergine…

(chorus) the walls they enclosed us they’re crumbling, they’re tumbling,

I’m stumbling, I’m crumbling

Tearing the place apart

Tearing the place apart

Tearing the place apart

I’ll rip the doors off with the hinges

Who needs a door at all

The world can walk in and I’ll let them

Help yourself to a magazine

Help yourself to anything

Go and take anything

They’re only things

They’re only things

They’re only things

It’s so easy…
