Goddess Night Lyrics

  Send "Through A Long & Sleepless Night" Ringtone to your Cell  

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 will 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 will 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

Never be the bride
