Perfect Life Songtext
von Steven Wilson

When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months

She arrived one February morning
Pale and shellshocked
From past lives I could not imagine

She was 3 years older than me
But in no time we became friends

We′d listen to her mix tapes:
Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil

She introduced me to her favourite books
Gave me clothes
And my first cigarette

Sometimes
We would head down to Blackbirds Moor
To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight

She said, "The water has no memory"

For a few months everything about our lives was perfect
It was only us
We were inseparable


But, gradually
She passed into another distant part of my memory

Until I could no longer remember her face
Her voice, even her name

We've got

We′ve got a perfect life
We've got

We've got a perfect life

We′ve got

We′ve got a perfect life
We've got (we′ve got)

We've got a perfect life

We′ve got (we've got)
We′ve got a perfect life
We've got (we've got)

We′ve got a perfect life

We′ve got (we've got)
We′ve got a perfect life
We've got (we′ve got)
We've got a perfect life
