Effigy Lyrics by Tom Aspaul

Life in Plastic, It’s Expanded

2022

[Verse 1]
Stones tied to my shoes
They pull me down
Though I don't refuse
When you're all around

[Verse 2]
Tried to make a truce
But you don't care
Men come, men don't stay
When they feel you're there

[Chorus]
And if two of us have a chemistry
There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy
And it's undermining everything
All the things I thought we could have been
And if two of us have a chemistry
There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy
And it's undermining еverything
All the things I knew I couldn't see

[Hook]
But I see it, goеs around and around and around
Yeah I see it, goes around and around
And it's good for nothing, what's the use?
Do you feel it?
Goes around and around and around

[Bridge]
All the boys that fall for me every week
Disappear when they see the effigy
And a part of me that won't see the truth
Digs in deeper and deeper to try to get to you
But I don't blame them for wanting something more
Now I've realised why they're so unsure
All the boys that fall for me every week
Disappear when they see the effigy

[Hook]
But I see it
Yeah I see it
Good for nothing
(And now I see, and now I see)
Good for nothing
(And now I see, and now I see)
Goes around and around and around

[Chorus]
And if two of us have a chemistry
There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy
And it's undermining everything
All the things I thought we could have been
And if two of us have a chemistry
There's a ghost of you, there's an effigy
And it's undermining everything
All the things I knew I couldn't see

[Outro]
Good for nothing
