lyrics

When I thought I saw your ex-lover’s ghost
He was picking his teeth with a pin
Must have come in through the front door I suppose
You’re always coming round and leaving these things open
Coming round and leaving windows open

When I said I saw your ex-lover’s ghost
You said that I was never any fun
That the face behind the shoulder was a trick of light at most
Of all the dreams I could have dreamed I’d dreamed this one
Of all the dreams I dream I only dream this one

It goes oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Saw a ghost standing there beside you

Drew a picture of a castle and a moat he drew a boat
And behind where I stood he drew a tether
Said instead of causing heartache wrecking homes and broken bones
It’s just the accidents that draw people together
Just accidents that draw people together

He goes oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Saw a ghost standing there beside you

When I thought I saw your ex-lover’s ghost
He was watching me shave with a smile
So I held his gaze steady hand steady eye
He said if it’s okay I think I’ll stay a little while

The Finks have released a steady stream of quietly uncompromising music via Milk! Records since 2012 – three EPs, two cassettes, four LPs and a handful of singles. Critics have described The Finks as “crushingly beautiful” and “perhaps the most underrated act in Australian music”. ... more
