It's so easy   Tearing the place apart   I'm getting rid of every memory   I don't know where to start   So many memories all around me   Now that you've gone to someone else   Give me a reason I should keep, our world that is acres deep,   in which you touched, in which you saw, in which you were   It's so easy      Tearing the place apart   each square of vinyl that you stepped on   Pulled up and thrown away   And burned with linen that we slept on   All my collections out they go   stamps of all nations where we'd been   and we had been everywhere   They're ripped in two   They're ripped in four   They're in the wind   It's so easy      (chorus) the walls they enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling,   I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling   Tearing the place apart   Tearing the place apart      Down come the chandeliers   That lit our cozy little dinners   Shattered for ever more - one thing is certain -   I'll grow thinner   No need to eat with company   No need to eat at all I guess   Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked   From soup to nuts to aubergine....      (chorus) the walls they enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling,   I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling   Tearing the place apart   Tearing the place apart      Tearing the place apart   I'll rip the doors off with the hinges   Who needs a door at all      the world can walk in and I'll let them   Help yourself to a magazine   Help yourself to anything   Go and take anything   They're only things   They're only things   They're only things      It's so easy...
