Apologies if these have been posted before, but for those who haven't seen them:
MY LIFE IS AN ENDLESS SUCCESSION OF PEOPLE SAYING GOODBYE
My life is an endless succession of people saying goodbye (x2)
And what's left for me?
What's left for me?
At one time the future
It stretched out before me
But now it stretches behind
And all of the best things in life
All behind glass
Money, Jewellery, Flesh
And what's left for me?
What's left for me?
*END*
(By the way, if anyone wants the clip of the early mix of this, let me know)
TEENAGE DAD ON HIS ESTATE
You chase in the rat race
And you always feel so hollow
You marry because it's expected of you
And it only makes you feel more lonely
But you still look down on the
Teenage dad on
On his estate
He's happy, so leave him alone
With his baby and his modest home
He's happy, so leave him alone
With his Jensen Interceptor
It's just a runaround
You defer to the views of the television news
Let someone do your thinking for you
And you still buy a daily newspaper
And you find everything here but the news
And you still look down on the
Teenage dad on
On his estate
He's happy, so leave him alone
With his baby and his modest home
He's happy, so leave him alone
With his Jensen Interceptor
It's just a runaround
You become your parent's parent - and you love them
But you can't help feeling used
And you hate the teenage dad on his estate
Because he's poor, but he's happier than you
They're all laughing at you
You're a dipper, slider, cart-horse provider
Nobody cares about you
Just as long as you're out there bringing it in
Despising the grin on the face of the boy with the methadone
Oh, with his methadone
He's happy, so leave him alone
Oh, with his methadone
He's happy, so leave him alone
*END*
It reminds me very much of That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore in both style and structure.
Finally, did anyone else notice the very slight change in the lyrics of Mexico?
