The Boo Radleys - Everything is Sorrow lyrics

And you know you shouldn't have another cigarette But nothing else makes much sense, nothing else will recompense And you get your loneliness out of a magazine You never felt nothing at all, no one else need ever know Another one has dragged you home And sworn that you're the only one You dream they'll play a special part You write their name upon your heart But then it's back inside your head The thought that it will turn out bad A fleeting glimpse of what is bound to be Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die Now the phone has lost its voice You're on your own again Spend your time on endless bedroom floor soliloquies The only voice you'll hear all day Will it always be this way? (yes) Once you recognize the truth That all is sad and you're the proof You might as well fight the day Kick back at the pricks who say That all is school and work no more Break your back, it's not your war Disengage, the only way to win Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die Opened up my paintbox, It had all turned to blue I worked in Birkenhead for you It brings me tears even now You tried to k** me, break my will You almost won, I hate you still The hated suffer not, what's worse The hater carries round the curse It eats me up, the cancer that is you Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die
