BELL X1
"Fake Memory"
(David Geraghty / Paul Noonan / Dominic Phillips)

We're smiling for the camera
Me and my mother and my aunt
Me in an ill-fitting tuxedo
Wrong color cumberband

And not quite the full picture
Some photos missing from the pack
Where's me asleep on the table?
Or her not kissing me back?

Her not kissing me back

The space that lies between us
I remember is cold
But one man's deep failure
Is another man's gold

I sometimes get a little mixed up
In this Venn diagram
That little sliver in the middle
Who I wanna be is who I am

Is who I am

[Chorus:]
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
Oo oo fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear

And now we're capturing these moments
Tying them to the tracks
Here comes a locomotive
And no one gives a damn

You can't say no it never happened
And you're not alone
If memory serves you badly
It's right here on my phone

It's right here on my phone

[Chorus:]
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
Oo oo fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear

[Lead]
[Background]

Do you remember?
Oo oo

Remember the time?
Fake memory

When we were all laughing?
Telling me

Was I laughing or crying?
What I want to hear

Yeah do you remember?
Oo oo

Do you recall?
Fake memory

The love climbing
Telling me

Before the fall?
What I want to hear
