‘Goner'


I wonder how it was I came to
Be such a hopeless sponge for the issues
Of fools with no idea of what they want
I could leave you alone in this room
Seething and spitting doom and gloom
And you'd never even notice that I'd gone

You say that your life is high drama
But it's not as much as mine
And if you don't see the chinks in my armour
Well, that's simply because I don't whine...

I can assure you that I have problems enough to soundly snap my spine!

You're sucking at my rainbow
Stop sucking at my rainbow

You stood in the kitchen with a bread knife to your chest
And wailed that you could no longer live with yourself -
Oh, so depressed and suicidal!
Well, now you know just how I felt
When I went out, and forgot to set
The video for 'The X Factor' final

You say that your face is a terrible mess
But there's no soul more hideous than I
And if you dare claim superior distress
I swear that I will kick you in the eye...

But hey, don't feel forced to re-evaluate me now, because I suspect that I'll soon die...

You're sucking at my rainbow
Stop sucking at my rainbow

You're sucking at my rainbow
Stop sucking my rainbow dry

Ooh la la…
La la la…
All the colours have faded to black and white.
