This is the official finished version of the first track for the A Dozen Dead Furs - Ghost Town Cowboys EP

After almost 7 hours of re-recording for the um-teenth time on this song, we finally have the finished version. This is the fourth time I believe we have recorded this song. Hopefully, all of the other tracks will record easier than this one.


LYRICS

Woke up this morning and I found you gone and a letter sprawled on the counter.
I heard a taxi off in the distance and I knew you were gone forever.

Now, I wish I could’ve done it different.
I hope it wasn’t wasted time that we spent.
Let’s not pretend that there was something I could do.
Because I now know it wasn’t me, it was you.

I don’t want you in my life or in my head. That’s what I should’ve said. (should have said.)
Not for you and not for us I wouldn’t have bled. That’s what I should have said. (should have said.)
You were the bane of me this life I never lead. That’s what I should have said. (should have said.)
Get out of my life I want you dead. That’s what I should have said. Should have said!

It's not that I never cared, I mean, I did try to save us in the end.
Now you come at me with some bullshit like we'd want to be friends.

Now, I wish I could’ve done it different.
I hope it wasn’t wasted time that we spent.
Let’s not pretend that there was something I could do.
Because I now know it wasn’t me, it was you.

I don’t want you in my life or in my head. That’s what I should’ve said. (should have said.)
Not for you and not for us I wouldn’t have bled. That’s what I should have said. (should have said.)
You were the bane of me this life I never lead. That’s what I should have said. (should have said.)
Get out of my life I want you dead. That’s what I should have said. Should have said!

Should have said!
Should have said!
Should have said!
Should have said!

RAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
[Instrumental Part]


I don’t want you in my life or in my head. That’s what I should’ve said. (should have said.)
Not for you and not for us I wouldn’t have bled. That’s what I should have said. (should have said.)
You were the bane of me this life I never lead. That’s what I should have said. (should have said.)
Get out of my life I want you dead. That’s what I should have said. Should have said!

Should have said!
Should have said!
Should have said!
Should have said!
Raah!
