Lyrics
She said "You don't deserve to be happy!"
And I cowered 'cos she always knew best
"Dreams are not concrete, they're like dust and they are at the mercy
Of the breeze." And I deflated
Clutching at my chest. Then she said
"Sing me a song of your longing"
And I whispered it 'cos yelling hurt my head
"Paint me a picture, paint me springtime, paint with brighter colours
Brighter than you ever will again"
Pulling up pins, I drove around on your skin
I cut a switch from the tree in The Garden of Eden
Lump in your throat, I'll be a thorn in your side
I'll die a thousand times over before
I feel alive by myself
She said "Now you deserve to be lonely"
As I whispered I hit nails on their heads
"So few find comforting what most of us call instinct"
And with that she stood up silently and left
Found out you lied, I found out you were unwell
So I took a second job to concentrate on your health
Christ I conceded that like Christ I believed you
And I begged you to stab me before I did it myself
Lit up like Christmas at the end of a summer
That bought nothing but rain
Now your eyelids wont close anymore
She said "Now you deserve to be happy"
And I smiled 'cos I always knew best
