Tim Minchin – Drowned Lyrics 14 years ago
You guys have to tell me if I'm just being a 'broken hearted' cynic but this song almost screams heartbreak at me.. He's comparing love to all these, what I can see, terrible things.

Finger nails on a chalkboard - horrible
Throwing myself overboard - giving up
A breakdown on a motorway - annoying
A heart attack on Christmas day - tragic
Like scaling a cliff then falling off - falling off a cliff? How is that not terrible?
A symphony with the sound on mute - if a symphony is all about the music, the mute makes it pointless
A letter sent to the wrong address - a waste
Or red wine on a wedding dress - ruin
Like broken bones in my playing hand - set back

I'd actually really like someone to show me the other side of this song, because it really is beautiful.
