A Birth

I'm cradled in your arms
Heart beating by my face
Can't speak don't yet know how
This world I'll have to face without you
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'm cradled in your arms
Heart beating by my face
Can't speak don't yet know how
This world I'll have to face without you
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'll be gone but you want me so badly
I'll be gone but you want me so badly

For a while now
I've obsessed
over wanting
a girlfriend
But something recently
made me realise
why do I need a girlfriend
if I'm happy anyway?
I see
everyone around me
couplin' up
like a couple of penguins in a nature documentary
It's only natural
to want to also
conjoin into one of these partnerships of love
Ohhh-ohhh
Love
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
But now I care a little bit less than I did before
and I can enjoy my life now that I'm a little bit more
content in it
But the fact remains that
as happy as I may be
maybe someone could make me happier
(Or maybe even) Maybe things would be worse
(Maybe even) Things would be worse with a partner
I just can't know
what the future holds
I just can't know
what the future holds
I just can't know
I just can't
I just can't know
I just can't
I just can't know
I just can't
I just can't know
I just can't
I just can't know
I just can't know

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo-oo mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Ohhh I know I made a big mistake
Ohhh I know I made a big mistake
Will I ever learn from these mistakes I always seem to make
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo-oo mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Decisions
01:26

When I made this decision
I wasn't aware
of all the repercussions
I suppose that's the way it is
for every single one
Every decision
Braunau am Inn, 1889
a baby boy
escaping from his mother's womb
Oh, how many little tiny decisions
led to the birth
of this tiny little guy
capable of a massive genocide
Baby Adolf
No one would have known what he would do

Drifting
03:56

We're just drifting through life
It takes us where it does
It takes us where it does
We're just drifting through life
We can't decide
We're just drifting through life
It takes us where it does
It takes us where it does
We're just drifting through life
We can't decide
What we'll do or anything at all
We can't do a thing to change the course
of events that will take place
right behind our eyes
Or in front of them
We can't affect the future
(Not at all) Unlike you might like to believe
(Not at all) We're just drifting through life
It takes us where it does
It takes us where it does
We're just drifting through life (But he showed no remorse)
We can't decide (Not something I'll endorse)
We're just drifting through life
It takes us where it does
It takes us where it does
We're just drifting through life (But he showed no remorse)
We can't decide (Not something I'll endorse)
We're just drifting through life
It takes us where it does
It takes us where it does
We're just drifting through life (But he showed no remorse)
We can't decide (Not something I'll endorse)

I'm in a situation where I need to apologise
sincerely
but I believe
nothing is my fault
I believe
nothing is anyone's fault
Where this makes forgiveness easy
it makes apologising hard
I know it makes me a little sleazy
but I would prefer avant-garde
with regards to my way of thinking
with such a strong belief at last
but it's not so avant-garde at all
This concept was rejected in the past
In the past

In the hours before this moment I'd been out with friends
as far as I can guess at least
I'm on my own now
in the middle of town
I don't want it to end
and I
I have nothing left to do
No one to talk to
apart from those around me who I don't know
I'm stuck inside the middle of town
Stuck me
Stuck me
Stuck me
I'm stuck 'cause my ability to leave is hindered by my want to stay
Even though there's nothing to do
Even though there's no one to talk to
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I see a couple girls over there
sitting by China China
on that little step that you stand on to order your salt and pepper chips
Don't approach them (Do!)
Don't approach them (Do!)
Don't approach them (Do!)
Don't approach them (Do!)
Don't approach them
Round and round my head it goes
for good reason I suppose
I ended up awkwardly introducing myself to them
and you know what? It went surprisingly well
Lucy was the name of the girl who answered me
She said she's not weird
She's not weird
She laughed at something I said
Whether it was with me
or at me
I'm not so sure but I don't think it was the latter no I think it was the former
Her friend was drunk and her name was Abi
She was being looked after by good old Lucy
'Twas a rather brief exchange
'Twas a rather brief exchange
'Twas a rather brief exchange
'Twas a rather brief exchange
Upon parting ways
they gave me the food
Salt 'n' pepper chips 'n' salt and pepper chicken
Abi even thanked me for the food though it wasn't mine
It was hers
and I wasn't giving it to her
She was giving it to me
Doesn't make much sense but if she was drunk I could expect that to be
something that would make some sense in her head at the time

Sadness
03:39

Oh you're just so sad
Oh you're just so sad
That tears are appearing from your eyes
Oh you're just so sad
Oh you're just so sad
That tears are appearing from your eyes
Oh you're just so sad
Oh you're just so sad
That tears are appearing from your eyes
And the best we can do is presumably just to see if we can make you smile
Make you laugh
Stop the sadness somehow
But
That might be difficult to do
Without
Time
And so you laugh
And so you smile
But then you cry again some more
You seem distraught
You seem distraught
But you will probably get over this
Well, at least that is what we can hope for
What we can hope for
But you're still so sad
Yeah, you're still so sad
The tears keep appearing from your eyes
Oh you're just so sad
Oh you're just so sad
This ain't the you I recognise

I'm aware I'm selfish
Is this a good thing
or a bad thing?
Sure it's good I'm honest with myself
and it's great for me that my beliefs mean I'm content
but the fact I'm so content can be a curse
It shows me up to be what I really am
A bad man
A bad man
A bad man
I'm aware I'm selfish
Is this a good thing
or a bad thing?
Sure it's good I'm honest with myself
and it's great for me that my beliefs mean I'm content
but the fact I'm so content can be a curse
It shows me up to be what I really am
A bad man
Some may not be so sure of their selfishness
Do some not have selfishness at all?
I doubt it
I very much doubt it
I doubt it
Oh-ohh
Oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I couldn't care more about my own happiness
I'm a hedonist to the core
so my life's like a game of chess
I'm my king on the board of life
with one-hundred-and-eighty thousand pawns
Tactics come naturally to me
but really I know
I'm playing this game
and when it comes to it it's me I will save
So many tragic things in this game of life (Can I avoid them, can I avoid them)
Some start out lucky but then fail in life (Life it destroyed them, life it destroyed them)
How will mine go?
Will I succeed in maintaining my happiness throughout my life
Will my game end well?
What is it that I need to do?
What does it take for me to win my game of life?
