Bill Bailey - Love Ballad Lyrics
I was aloneMy heart was coldIt was a stoneMy soul was lonelyLike a stoneThere was no mossAnd when I dancedI danced aloneBut then I did not danceBecause I was aloneSo I did not danceI shuffled through life invisibleTo all happy couplesWho would mock meWith their merry laughterHa ha haThe only sound I heardIn my lonely silent worldWas the rusty hammer of my heartNailing at the hatred in my soulBut then you came...And my life was turned upside downYou showed me the beautyOf the things that I had never seenLike the snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deerOr the painting of a dogThat wears a deerstalker and smokes a pipeThat made you laugh so heartilyThat I previously thought was rubbishOr the duck that lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winterBut the intoxicating power of our loveTransforms this simple act into an anthropomorphic dramaWhere Mr Duck's embarrassed and the other ducks are laughing'Quack quack quack quack quack'And then you leftAnd I have died a thousand deathsAnd I will die a thousand moreI thought you were an angelYou turned out to be a whoreAnd everything is turned to dustAnd everything is infected with a plagueWhen you had to sleep with Craig'Oh, he's so sensitive''He's got a tattoo'Yeah, and carving your name with a compass in my foreheadWas not enough for you?The snowflake on the eye of the dearHas turned to pusThat oozes from an open woundThe deer, now blinded, stumbles into a ravineThe duck lies shredded in a pancakeSoaking in the hoi sin of your liesThe dog has moved from the pipeTo 60 cigarettes a dayAnd coughs away his lifeIn the cold neon research labOf your betrayalOf your betrayal
