The - Perfect lyrics

rate me

It's a chilly English winter,<br />

And solitude is never easy to maintain,<br />

Except when it rains.<br />

So I hang an empty smile beneath my empty eyes,<br />

And go out for a walk.<br />

The wet morning sun reflects off the paving-stones,<br />

While a little dog barks it's head off,<br />

In the distance.<br />

CHORUS (x2)<br />

Oh, what a perfect day,<br />

To think about my silly world.<br />

My feet are firmly screwed to the floor.<br />

What is there to fear from such a regular world?<br />

Passing by a cemetery,<br />

I think of all the little hopes and dreams,<br />

That lie lifeless and unfilled beneath the soil.<br />

I see an old man fingering his perishing flesh.<br />

He tells himself he was a good man and did good things.<br />

Amused and confused by life's little ironies,<br />

He swallows his bottle of distilled damnation.<br />

People turn around with unseeing eyes.<br />

They're looking for something that doesn't exist.<br />

The world you once knew is being eaten up by rust.<br />

No-one has time for the past, but still, in God they trust.<br />

The future is now, but it's all going wrong.<br />

Bodies good for nothing, but it's to nothing they belong.<br />

People say prayers and some work hard.<br />

If you give them all your money, they'll give you their hearts.<br />

This town ain't going like a ghost town.<br />

It's going like hell....<br />

Chorus (x5)
