Skyclad - When All Else Fails lyrics

To whom it may concern (whoever that may be) For I can think of no-one who has shown concern for me. My last will and testament I now bequeath To all those I trusted (to those who deceived me) Though by hope deserted of this I am sure That where I am going you'll hurt me no more. While your plotting my downfall I'm planning my wake Still you're trying to see how much more I can take In this game that we're playing I know I can't win And my dreams have all ended before they begin. One for the wish that would never come true Two for the kisses betraying a fool Three for the life that was my bed of nails For there's only one answer when all else fails. I fear I have been here too long for my own good Outstaying my welcome when all the time I should Have heeded my heart when it said take your bow But I'm sadder and wiser and listening now. In this life that you're leading you're fooling yourself If you think you are better than anyone else So shed not your tears for me now pretty child For when I was crying - remember, you smiled. The knife that I'm holding was never as sharp As the words from your cruel lips that punctured my heart Tell me where was your friendship in my hour of need When you stood and you laughed while watching me bleed? One for the wish that would never come true Two for the kisses betraying a fool Three for the life that was my bed of nails For there's only one answer when all else fails. Don't talk to me of loneliness - don't speak to me of tears For I have had enough of both to last a thousand years "If music be the food of love" then let a famine rage To starve my childish innocence before it comes of age. One for the wish that would never come true Two for the kisses betraying a fool Three for the life that was my bed of nails For there's only one answer when all else fails. I beg you forgive me - I apologise For wasting your time with such lengthy goodbyes But as I depart - unto destiny kneel I pray that one day you will know how I feel. Goodbye.
