[ti: Through A Long & Sleepless Night]
[length: 06:13]
[00:22.79]Through a long and sleepless night / I thought upon the jury’s plight
[00:31.04]If what is wrong can feel so right / then life’s no longer black and
[00:38.30]White
[00:39.41]It’s four o’clock and all’s not well / in my private circle of hell
[00:47.69]I contemplate my navel hair / and slowly slide into despair
[00:56.11]This rut has fast become a trench / This smell has turned into the
[01:03.52]Stench
[01:04.20]Of rotten dreams and stale ideals / The past is snapping at my heels
[01:12.74]Oh Danny Boy the pipes are blocked / with bedtime blues and future shock
[01:21.15]I know the best is yet to come / but does it always take this long?
[01:30.40]I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
[01:38.52]But I will always be the bridegroom and never the bride
[01:48.42]You deserve to be horse-whipped / But I’ve no horse that joke’s so shit
[01:57.25]And whips would only make it worse / don’t tempt the lonely and perverse
[02:05.22]The casualties of casual sex / The child of three with X-ray specs
[02:13.56]The conman low in self-esteem / The Casanova in your dreams
[02:22.30]I’ll scream and scream and scream until / I’ve made myself critically
[02:30.00]Ill
[02:30.55]In hospital in case you’re there / in uniform, intensive care
[02:39.19]I know you’ll be the death of me / but what a cool death that would be
[02:47.39]I’d rather die than be deprived / of Wonderbras and thunder thighs
[02:57.05]I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
[03:05.24]But I will always be the bridegroom and never the bride
[03:14.82]
[03:49.24]Bored of normality? Why not go daft? / It’s easy to do if you try
[04:04.94]Slide right back down that self-confident path / you’ve just so
[04:16.04]Laboriously climbed
[04:24.78]Pickle your liver and addle your brain / Live the Bohemian life
[04:43.04]Die young and penniless somewhere in Spain / Then again you could try
[04:51.52]Just to live your own life
[04:53.27]In the way that you find most amusing / I DON’T REALLY CARE!
[05:12.09]
[05:25.53]I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
[05:36.82]But I will always be the bridegroom and I will never be the bride
[05:41.34]Never be the bride
