Bill Bailey - Love ballad lyrics

rate me

I was alone

My heart was cold

It was a stone

My soul was lonely

Like a stone

There was no moss

And when I danced

I danced alone

But then I did not dance

Because I was alone

So I did not dance

I shuffled through life invisible

To all happy couples

Who would mock me

With their merry laughter

Ha ha ha

The only sound I heard

In my lonely silent world

Was the rusty hammer of my heart

Nailing at the hatred in my soul

But then you came...

And my life was turned upside down

You showed me the beauty

Of the things that I had never seen

Like the snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer

Or the painting of a dog

That wears a deerstalker and smokes a pipe

That made you laugh so heartily

That I previously thought was rubbish

Or the duck that lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winter

But the intoxicating power of our love

Transforms this simple act into an anthropomorphic drama

Where Mr Ducka€™s embarrassed and the other ducks are laughing

a€œQuack quack quack quack quacka€

And then you left

And I have died a thousand deaths

And I will die a thousand more

I thought you were an angel

You turned out to be a whore

And everything is turned to dust

And everything is infected with a plague

When you had to sleep with Craig

'Oh, he's so sensitive'

'Hea€™s got a tattoo'

Yeah, carving your name with a compass in my forehead

Was not enough for you?

The snowflake on the eye of the dear

Has turned to pus

That oozes from an open wound

The deer, now blinded, stumbles into a ravine

The duck lies shredded in a pancake

Soaking in the hoi sin of your lies

The dog has moved from the pipe

To 60 cigarettes a day

And coughs away his life

In the cold neon research lab

Of your betrayal

Of your betrayal
