Closer than close - you see yourself - a mirrored immage,
                     
of what you wanted to be
   
As each day goes by - a little more -  you can't remember
                    
what it was you wanted anyway
     
The fingers feel the lines - they prod the space - your ageing face
                                                     
The face that once was so beautiful - is still there but unrecognizable

Private Hell, Private Hell

The man who you once loved - is blad and fat - and seldom in
working late as usual
Your interest has waned - you feel the strain - the bed springs snap
on the occasions he lies upon you - close your eyes and think of nothing but
Private Hell, Private Hell

                            
Think of Emma - wonder what she's doing
                              
her husband Terry - and your grandchildren
                             
Think of Edward - who's still at college
                                       
you send him letters - which he doesn't acknowledge
       
'Cause he don't care - they don't care
                                     
'Cause they're all going through their own

Private Hell, Private Hell

The morning slips away - in a valium haze - and catalogues
a numerous cups of coffe
In the afternoon - the weekly food - is put in bags
you float off down the high street
The shops windows reflect - play a nameless host - to a closet ghost
a picture of your fantasy - a victim of your misery
Private Hell, Private Hell


Alone at 6 o'clock - you drop a cup - you see it smash
                                                       
inside you crack - you can't go on  - but you sweep it up
                         
Safe at last inside your - Private Hell
                         
Sanity at last inside your - Private Hell


NOTE: I have recognised the chords above with a PIANO, and not a guitar, so 
it's impossible for me to find out the exact notes that the great Paul plays
during the short guitar solos. I'm sorry but you will have to do it by
yourself !!!
Of course, suggestions are welcome ad encouraged.
