Through a long and sleepless night
I thought upon the jury's plight
If what is wrong can
feel so right
Then life's no longer black and white
It's four o'clock and all's not
well
In my private circle of hell
I contemplate my navel hair
And slowly slide into
despair
This rut has fast become a trench
This smell has turned into the stench
Of
rotten dreams and stale ideals
The past is snapping at my heels
Oh danny boy the pipes are
blocked
With bedtime blues and future shock
I know the best is yet to come
But does
it always take this long?
I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
But i'll always be the bridegroom and never the bride
"you deserve to be
horse-whipped
But i've no horse", that joke's so shit
And whips would only make it
worse
Don't tempt the lonely and perverse
The casualties of casual sex
The child of
three with x-ray specs
The conman low in self esteem
The casanova in your dreams
I'll
scream and scream and scream until
I've made myself critically ill
In hospital, in case
you're there
In uniform, intensive care
I know you'll be the death of me
But what a
cool death that would be
I'd rather die than be deprived
Of wonderbras and thunder
thighs
I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
But i'll always be
the bridegroom and never the bride
Bored of normality?
Why not go daft?
It's
easy to do if you try
Slide right back down that self-confident path
You've just so
laboriously climbed
Pickle your liver and addle your brain
Live the bohemian life
Die
young and penniless somewhere in spain
Then again you could try just to live your own life
In the way that you find most amusing
I don't really care!
I can put on the perfume,
even wear the dress sometimes
But i will always be the bridegroom and i will never be the bride
