lyrics

Not for me the burning sunrise
To take my hand into the day
Just the darkened damp old corner
Of life's carpet is where I'll stay

Not for me the sound of swallows diving
cut throat at the grass
Nor the evening hum of summer
Just these mains and monitors

But the time will come when this madness will be gone
And one by one I'll try to put right
all the things that I've done wrong
So instead of sifting through the archives
For something positive to say
Dig out a smile and put your
pretty little, pretty little tears away

Not for me the splash of surf
Or the sand between my toes
Red eyes and blue headaches
Is the life I must have chose
Not the planetary universal cosmic wash of time
it's just watching clocks and calculating discount rates on wine
