You wandered into my world
And you carved a space in my head
Your ghost is living there still
But it's been years since you left
I've kept track of the numbers
Mine fall each space in between
I've been stonewalling your lighthouse
Under the London ravine

I've been a sucker for a very clever boy
I've been a sucker for a brilliant copycat

Miles of ivory canvas
Hammered into a map
The stupid things little girls do
To somehow get their selves back
I didn't get myself back
I didn't get myself back
I didn't get myself back
I didn't get myself
Did you forget yourself?
You became a compulsion
All excessive and vile
I didn't stay here forever
But I stuck around for a while

I've been a sucker for a very clever boy
I've been a sucker for an expert copycat

You wandered into my world
And carved a space in my head
I followed painting behind you
And you kept making a mess
I've been repainting behind you
And you're still making a mess
You're still making a mess
Don't you ever forget
No don't you ever come back

I've been a sucker for a very clever boy
I've been a sucker for a lovely copycat
