You’ve Never Lived Songtext
von The Go‐Betweens

All that′s left of me, of me that was, is a former shadow
Once amidst great work, then she came, and then she came
And that's your point

And right here′s for me (right here's for me)
Right here and nowhere else
There's no underground (there′s no underground)
Bitterness is what you′ve found
You've never lived

The risk was hers, every bit hers
I gave her this warning
Never love a man who has no sister, clings to your breast
Only you know him

And right here′s for me (right here's for me)
Right here and nowhere else
As collectors call (as collectors call)
I will whisper as they fall
You′ve never lived


A great reputation she kept up
My god! She kept me up
And I'm no genius, just a former genius, a shadow of the genius
That I am

And right here′s for me (right here's for me)
Right here and nowhere else
As collectors call (as collectors call)
I will whisper as they fall
You've never lived

And it′s the luckiest charm and the luckiest charm
And it′s the luckiest charm and the luckiest charm
And it will do you no harm, it will do you no harm because
It's the luckiest charm, oh it′s the luckiest charm full of belief
And it will do you no harm, it will do you no harm

And right here's for me (right here′s for me)
Right here and nowhere else
Right here's for me (right here′s for me)
Right inside, right beside
You've never lived


And right here's for me (right here′s for me)
Right here and nowhere else
You′re my lucky charm (you're my lucky charm)
Luckiest charm I′ve ever had
And it does you no harm (does you no harm)
No-no-no-no-no-no-no
You've never lived

It′s the luckiest charm and the luckiest charm
Yeah, it's the luckiest charm and the luckiest charm
And it will do me no harm, it will do me no harm
