Glutton of Sympathy Lyrics
In the breathless hush of 4 a.m.
In the dark sits a sad cliché
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars
Tell me how this came to be
Sleeplessness talk to me
She'd say over and over again
Fumbling through a cut glass vase
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends
You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over again that this is the end
Cause I see it in your eyes
What you don't know, time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much more out there to be learned
Such mournful words on this snow white vacant page
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy
She writes over and over again
Tossing turning roll away
Indecision won't you ever make up your mind
Lifetime Nigh time wake the day
Cause tomorrow will see if you've had your fill of sympathy
Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy?
Don't you know the stars are all fading let the sunshine capture the sparkle
of your smile
In the dark sits a sad cliché
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars
Sleeplessness talk to me
She'd say over and over again
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over again that this is the end
What you don't know, time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much more out there to be learned
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
She writes over and over again
Indecision won't you ever make up your mind
Lifetime Nigh time wake the day
Cause tomorrow will see if you've had your fill of sympathy
Don't you know the stars are all fading let the sunshine capture the sparkle
of your smile

wow, once really would have been enough there :/
Huh, when he says "burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends" do you think that could be referencing how Sam Means [the other guy in The Format] is getting married to his fiance? Just a thought. That'd be kind of ironic.
this song is by a band called 'jellyfish'... or did the format do a cover of it?
yes, they covered this song.
