Lyrics that stick

Life is brief
Fall in love, maidens
Before the crimson bloom
Fades from your lips
Before the tides of passion
Cool within you
For those of you
Who know no tomorrow

Life is brief
Fall in love, maidens
Before his hands
Take up his boat
Before the flush of his cheeks fades
For those of you
Who will never return here

Life is brief
Fall in love,maidens
Before the boat drifts away
On the waves
Before the hand resting on your shoulder
Becomes frail
For those who will never
Be seen here again

Life is brief
Fall in love, maidens
Before the raven tresses
Begin to fade
Before the flame in your hearts
Flicker and die
For those to whom today
Will never return

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes.

With a few drinks in me, I was briefly tempted to quote lyrics from The Smiths - What Difference Does it Make?

Tragically, I backed out after considering what an utter fucking disappointment Morrissey has become.

It’s a great song though.

Edit: A bit of a shit post, with hindsight. Must try harder.

Everything went down hill after Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

A turning-point was reached…

“I’m tired of Facebook,
Tired of my failing health,
I’m tired of everyone,
And that includes myself…”

the goodbye
the unforeseen
the peddled
the peddled dreams
the golden
the golden ropes
the stone ships
the stone ships
a distant cost
a distant cost
the paper sails

I’m a traitor
Waiting for a cause to betray

Your still fuckjng peasants as far as I can see

I was a bouncing baby and now
I’m a bouncing bomb

No one needs to tell you that
There’s no use for you here anymore
And where are your friends? They’ve gone away
It’s a different world, and they left you to this
To janitor the emptiness
So let’s get it on

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone.
