I see a shape in the crowd by

Canon AE-1
FD 50mm f/1.8
True B+W Film
2009 – Central Station, Sydney

I see a shape in the crowd
I turn to know where you are
But all around me’s the stench of high density housing

The stereo’s listening to me
And I’m being watched by TV
And valium’s all I have left since I ran out of coffee

Just because you don’t remember
Doesn’t mean that I’ll forget you
Just because you won’t remember
Doesn’t mean that I’ll forget you
Just because you won’t remember
Doesn’t mean that I’ll forget you

I gave you all that I had
You kept your flag at half-mast
I thought we were on the same train
But we’re still at the station

I see a shape in the crowd
I need to know where you are
I’m lost and I’m found in the sweet stench
Of high density housing

Just because you don’t remember
Doesn’t mean that I’ll forget you
Just because you won’t remember
Doesn’t mean that I’ll forget you
Just because you won’t remember
Doesn’t mean that I’ll forget you

But I will tear it down to make you happy
Yeah I will tear it down to bring you back to me
And I will tear it down to make you happy, happy
Yeah I will tear it down, tear it down, tear it down
To bring you back to me, back to me

I see a shape in the crowd
I turn to know where you are

And I will tear it down to make you happy

Yeah I will tear it down to bring you back to me, back to me

And I will tear it down to make you happy, happy

Yeah I will tear it down, tear it down, tear it down

To bring you back to me, back to me, back to me

I see a shape in the crowd

    The ‘c’ on the closest sign is weird.

  • Mr Sjem, may I be so bold as to say “So are you”. I hope you and your excellent family are all in good health.
