David Gray - Nemesis Lyrics






'Neath an avalanche - soft as moss
I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
If I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead

I'm the manta ray - I'm the louse
I am a photograph they found in your burned out house
I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane

Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive

I'm the bottom line - of the joke
I am ecstasy - spilling like bright egg yolk
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it - you're trying to wash out of you hair

Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm lost inside
Feel like I'm buried alive

Possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss
yes

I'm the babe that sleeps through the blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself
yeah [3x]

  7. A.... H....

    Neath an avalanche
    Soft as moss
    I'm a creeping-in, intangible sense of loss
    I'm the memory you can't get out your head
    If I leave you now
    You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
    I'm the manta ray
    I'm the louse
    I am the photograph
    They found in your burned down house
    I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
    I am the pack of lies
    The baby that keeps you sane, hey
    Gates of heaven are open wide
    God help me baby I'm trapped inside
    Feel like I'm buried alive
    I'm, I'm the bottom line
    Of the joke
    I'm in ecstasy
    Spilling like bright egg-yolk
    I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
    And I am the smell of it
    You're trying to wash out of your hair
    Gates of heaven are open wide
    God help me baby I'm lost inside
    Feels like I'm buried alive
    The possibilities limitless
    Just give me something that's more than this
    One shot and I'll never miss
    Yes
    I'm the babe that sleeps
    Through the Blitz
    I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
    I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else
    I am your nemesis
    Baby I'm life sweet life itself, yeah, yeah (yeah)

    Beautiful song!!

  9. G.... A....

    You Peter Goadsby are a monster. And there's a woman on this planet that holds your memory with any nostalgy, you are evil and disgusting. You are not a Nemesis of anyone, you are a criminal. A disgusting, sadistic criminal.

  10. p.... r....

    absolutely love how you can share your journey, people like you David are so beautiful how you can express what so many feel introvertly and help shine a light for us all to focus on and become united in yours and our journey and the sheer love of music.

  11. q.... l....

    That is a great song.. How do you touch my heart of heart like this 😍😍😍

  12. G.... [....

    This song will always be one of my favorites.

  13. d.... s....

    Living on a little island like Barbados I always felt like I was the only person in the world who loved his music.

  14. C.... J....

    check this song out at Zermatt unplugged so much better live but then I think he's a much better live act tbh

    C.... J....

    Linger on your pale blue eyes! 👀

  15. C.... D....

    nice song

  16. C.... D....

    Theres a fat muslim gambling beside me at the computer den.. the lap top store

  17. C.... D....

    I need scientific proof that this song is "depression" or "sadness". Is this mania? It's whatever I say it is. Because of social media... I could be 500 pounds eating fists full of cakes and doritos every night.... but i can market myself as a size 12 cover girl model. Would anyone like to exercise common sense? Or are we waiting for more horseshit?

  18. C.... D....

    is david a good person or a bad person? is a good bloke or a bad bloke? i'd like to see Jeremy Kyle interview David. I'd like anyone..... to approach David and bring out his anger or sadness. You see a musician has alllllll of that bubbling beneath the surface. Artists are easy to make fun of aren't they? Just catch him off guard at the chip shoppe. Is David even real? I need some scientific evidence.

    C.... D....

    David is real I have seen him in concert twice. However, he is a bit of a c£ock
    Santa Claus isn't real.
    Jesus plays for Man City so he is real.
    Maybe see someone about your mental health?

  19. N.... G....

    loving this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤
