about

When all is said and done, more is said than done...

lyrics

The time's not right, you say
You're waiting for the 'magic'.
When things work out okay,
And no-one has to say goodbye.
And no-one has to cry.
Don't tell me now, it's tragic.
You pick three chords and try
To rhyme these words and make a song.
So we can sing along . . . and still she's gone.

This love is broken too,
It seems the fire just doesn't burn
Like how it used to do.
Like something changed for you and me.
But no-one needs to see
The crying heart that doesn't learn.
And these three words are free,
So play the chords and make a song.
And we'll all sing along . . . and still she's gone.

And you watch and you wait
and you hate when it's like this
and no-one ever calls you at all.
And you hope you can cope
and you try not to cry when it's like this,
like no-one wants you, like no-one needs you.

She says she is confused,
And will you give her time to think?
Till she knows what to do,
Till then she'll fight on through the day.
And no-one needs to say
The rats will leave this ship to sink
Forget the words and play
Just pick three chords and make a song
And we'll all hum along . . . and still she's gone.

1999/2000
