I am looking for the words and chords for this Matt McGinn song. The quality of of his lyrical songs always takes me aback.

Do you have a snippit of the lyrics that we can go on?

Does it start

Deep in my heart and
Deep in my mind
Deep in the depths of my ego
Deep in my breast
Lies a treasure chest
A place that only I can know...

I was sure that the lyrics to this song had been posted but I can't seem to find them.


THE DEPTH OF MY EGO
by Matt McGinn
As recorded by Matt McGinn on "The Return of the Two Heided Man" (2001)

CHORUS: Deep in my heart and
Deep in my mind
Deep in the depth of my ego
Deep in my breast
Lies a treasure chest
A world that only I can know

You may criticise me
Try to analyse me
Put me in your little pigeon hole
I'll still hold the key
To the place where I am free
A world that only I control. CHORUS

I can love you dearly
I can love you true
I can love you long and love you well
But I must have my own song
Only I can sing
My own tale that only I can tell. CHORUS

Place me in your prison
Put me in your cell
Lock me up and throw away the key
I will up and(?) wander
When I'm fancy-free
In this big world that's inside me. CHORUS
