Catatonia - My Selfish Gene Lyrics

Artist: Catatonia

Album: International Velvet

  • Songwriters: Paul Jones, Cerys Matthews, Owen Powell, Aled Richards, Mark Roberts

You, me and destiny
Guess that it was never meant to be
All you did was give me allergy
I'm not looking for your sympathy

You, me and destiny
I am courted by uncertainty
I've lost my will to live unselfishly
Altruism stinks of fallacy

And my selfish gene
It fills up my spleen with bile
And all the while
I thought you gave a damn

You, me and destiny
Guess that it was never meant to be
All you needed was some courtesy
And I'm not waiting for an apology

My selfish gene
It fills my spleen with bile
And all the while
I thought you gave a damn
Way back then I thought you gave a damn
