The More you Get, the More you Need (WTBS album version)
 
She came in to this world through no fault of her own
Just an innocent girl, with her feelings unknown
Very soon they realised, that she had no heart
And though they only tried to help her
They couldn't start to understand her
 
Another baby dies and that means another baby lives
How can we ever understand why, there isn't one who gives
Everyone was watching her, everyone but me
They thought they'd saved her, but it seems
The more you get the more you need (the more you get the more you need)
 
She caused quite a stir in the four weeks that she was here
And every time I think her I can't help but shed a tear
And now she's gone and no-one knows, but did they really care?
I'm sure they did so why is it that everyone says death is unfair?
The more you get the more you need
 
She came in to this world through no fault of her own
Just an innocent girl, with her feelings unknown
Very soon they realised, that she had no heart
And though they only tried to help her
They couldn't start to understand her.
 
Another baby dies and that means another baby lives
How can we ever understand why, there isn't one who gives
Everyone was watching her, everyone but me
They thought they'd saved her, but it seems
The more you get the more you need (the more you get the more you need) fade...
