Adam Camm - Skeletons on the Shelves

Born with a fascination of the past
Yet to his detriment it could be
Nothing could rest, always disturbed
There are no questions that couldn't be asked

He tried so hard to make his lovers stick
And went so far to give them each his heart
But something's wrong, something's awry

Cause there's this habit he can't resist
Always needing to know who's that and what's this
And when he asks does this ring any bells
You know he's thumbed through the skeletons on your shelves

It don't occur to let sleeping dogs lie
Through ruthless research he'll have you profiled
Patience to dig, a forensic mind
Cause bygones being bygones just don't fly

Lead him astray and he will persist
To find that memory buried away
No matter the pain, shame or blame

Cause there's habit he can't resist
Always needing to know who's that and what's this
And when he asks does this ring any bells
You know he's thumbed through the skeletons on your shelves

If there's something you're not keen to discuss
Rest assured, he's up to speed
He will interrogate but wear a smile
All is enough not superfluous

Yet should this tale take one more twist
Surely he spends a life alone
A man of detail, this chronic itch

Cause there's this habit he can't resist
Always needing to know who's that and what's this
And when he asks does this ring any bells?
You know he's thumbed through the skeletons on his shelves
