What are you listening to right now? v2.0


When you were young and on your own
how did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking
games that I was playing
trying to make the best of my time.

But only love can break your heart
try to be sure right from the start.
Yes, only love can break your heart
but if your world should fall apart...
 
Is that all there is? (song for free spirits who are never satisfied, takes a lot to amuse us).




I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire?"

Is that all there is, is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is?

And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over,
I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a circus?"

Is that all there is, is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is?

Then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day, he went away. And I thought I'd die -- but I didn't.
And when I didn't I said to myself, "Is that all there is to love?"

Is that all there is, is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know, just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
When that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself;

Is that all there is, is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is?
 
Fuck. Song makes me cry, damn bollocks, why do i do it to myself;
Bit where he sings ''...missed you a lot'', ''...turned to this abandoned place'' his voice,
dunno why, just makes my eyes water, then a again in the next bit...''it's dead and gone''.

Actually I know why.
 
Best song by them. Nice little description about the buying the hope religion.


Can I be saved, I spent all my money
On a future grave?
Wooden jesus I'll cut you in,
On twenty percent of my future sin.
Porcelain Mary, her majesties pure
Looking for virgin territory,
Coat hanger halos don't come cheap,
From television shepherds with living room sheep.
