[ti: Through A Long And Sleepless Night]
[length: 00:00]
[00:24.25]Through a long and sleepless night
[00:27.38]I thought upon the jury’s plight
[00:31.52]If what is wrong can feel so right
[00:35.43]Then life’s no longer black and white
[00:40.24]It’s four o’clock and all’s not well
[00:43.88]In my private circle of hell
[00:48.03]I contemplate my navel hair
[00:59.50]And slowly slide into despair
[01:01.32]This rut has fast become a trench
[01:02.53]This smell has turned into the stench
[01:04.78]Of rotten dreams and stale ideals
[01:08.97]The past is snapping at my heels
[01:13.15]Oh Danny Boy the pipes are blocked
[01:17.49]With bedtime blues and future shock
[01:21.83]I know the best is yet to come
[01:25.87]But does it always take this long?
[01:31.26]I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
[01:38.95]But I’ll always be the bridegroom and never the bride
[01:55.13]”You deserve to be horse-whipped
[01:56.55]But I’ve no horse”, that joke’s so shit
[01:58.14]And whips would only make it worse
[02:01.80]Don’t tempt the lonely and perverse
[02:05.76]The casualties of casual sex
[02:09.98]The child of three with X-ray specs
[02:14.21]The common low in self esteem
[02:18.18]The Casanova in your dreams
[02:22.26]I’ll scream and scream and scream until
[02:26.71]I’ve made myself critically ill
[02:30.94]In hospital, in case you’re there
[02:35.01]In uniform, intensive care
[02:39.87]I know you’ll be the death of me
[02:43.70]But what a cool death that would be
[02:48.29]I’d rather die than be deprived
[02:52.49]Of Wonderbras and thunder thighs
[02:57.22]I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
[03:04.33]But I’ll always be the bridegroom and never the bride
[03:15.98]Bored of normality?
[03:55.65]Why not go daft?
[03:57.54]It’s easy to do if you try
[04:12.50]Slide right back down that self-confident path
[04:17.69]You’ve just so laboriously climbed
[04:25.82]Pickle your liver and addle your brain
[04:32.79]Live the Bohemian life
[04:39.36]Die young and penniless somewhere in Spain
[04:43.82]Then again you could try just to live your own life
[04:53.71]In the way that you find most amusing
[04:57.33]I DON’T REALLY CARE!
[05:14.09]I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
[05:34.77]But I will always be the bridegroom and I will never be the bride
[06:06.35]
