"Just to say we're sorry
For the black eyes and bleeding lips
And it's hard to forget
How many lies we told
Or how old we'd grow
Before i said goodbye
so let's scrape our knees on the playground
It's not your fault
You feel okay
It's too late in the day
It's not your fault
you feel betrayed
You can't come out to play
I never listened to a word you never said
Wasting the hours now
We're all suckers for tragedies
and start this over again
and you bring us to our knees
As sunrise comes
and the story will sell
A few hundred papers
so we'll follow you up
So raise your hands up high and let this rain pour on
So raise your hands up high and wash us away
Like innocence and childbirth
you look just like your mother
you look just like your father
forgive him our father
your son is smiling
so lay roses around you"
Great song. the album booklet says it is "dedicated to the memory of lianne davies and lloyd bird, eternally loved and never forgotten". Clearly a song about the death of loved ones... (which fits perfectly with the name funeral for a friend btw)
Some lines are wrong, the lyrics should be-
