"We were recording in Holland,

and went for a cup of coffee in Hilversum,

because the hotel where we were staying was ghastly. 

We were very bored, and we went into a cafe there, 

and I fell in love with the waitress

and wrote the song in 10 minutes. 

It was a total lust song,

it had nothing to do with any art concept. 

I wrote it, then insisted on learning it

on the way back to the studio. 

We were quite drunk, as it happens!

It wasn't very serious."



[Record Collector Interview 1995]

If there's anything that you want
If there's anything that you need
There's no need to be evasive
Money talks and it's persuasive
Possession

Now you're sending me your best wishes
Signed with love and vicious kisses
You lack lust, you're so lacklustre
Is that all the strength you can muster
Possession

Even when we are out of touch
Now I know that I've seen too much
Seen too much

So I see us lying back to back
My case is closed my case is packed
I'll get out before the violence
Or the tears or the silence
Possession
