lyrics

I’ve been looking at the photographs
Recalling memories from my distant past
They were hidden away for many years
Now I see them again so clear

That man in the picture
He was always there
And to all outside
It looked a normal affair
That man in the picture
No he didn’t care
Standing there smiling
With his arm around her

Days out all together
Everyone would go
Twisted fucked up
So sad you’d never know X2

That man in the picture
He was always there
Standing there smiling
It was a sordid affair

That man in the picture
No he didn’t care
Standing there smiling
With his arm around here

Some photographs are all about secrets
The secrets we all have but will never tell
A photograph is usually looked at but seldom looked into
It is the picture itself that creates the illusion of innocence

Every photo tells a story
Ironies of frozen narrative
Captured moments in time
Sometimes the person in the picture should have swapped places with the person holding the camera

That man in the picture
He was always there
Standing there smiling
It was a sordid affair
That man in the picture
No he didn’t care
Standing there brazen
With his arm around her

Now I’m looking again
With open eyes
And I know what you did
And now I realise
Now I’m looking again
Through open eyes
It was so long ago
How can you moralise?
