A Slow, Slow Death
We felt a chill from the breeze move in from the east, London pat its own back Those with the means for the megaphone will always provide us the soundtrack I started to diarise the coming of flies when gloom is descending So when it's back round again I know it's a false start and not an ending Some days I struggle to move in elephant shoes, unwilling commuter Anxiety in my chest, heart under duress, taps out of sharpshooter Preoccupied now for days, by nostalgia waves, I hated the first time A gambler's fallacy: The more I repeat, I won't be the punchline You On a lilo Are an island Of the pacific And then me, me, me I am face down In a puddle On the high street I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I know little, but I promise: There's a slow, slow death if you want it Songtexte In time I will have to lie, these memories are mine, not in fact my father's A schoolboy hero replaced, domestic disgrace, a sad scak, a martyr We here are common as dirt, three lions on our shirt, with high expectations Absolve this land of a Queen who feasts while we wean a small, hopeless nation You On a lilo Are an island Of the pacific And then me, me I am face down In a puddle On the high street I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup I know little, but I promise: There's a slow, slow death if you want it Yeah, I want it Aus Songtexte Mania
