loved to death

the living ,the dying
the caught in the middle
the falling, the flying
the conman, the fickle
the i dont knows
betwixt and betweens
indignant overblowns
and squeaky cleans

her suburb life was tremendously disappointing
when the road ahead was so wide and full of hope
to be tied down in endless domesticity
it filled her with a dread, she couldnt cope

she didnt want to listen
she could do what she liked
she never made him promises
so she never told him lies

the shortfalls, the taxman
the blackhole pension plan
the fat cats and top hats
shit hits the fan
prescription fees
the licence, the deals
the contents and policies
the chemicals, the pills

her suburb life was tremendously disappointing
when the road ahead was so wide and full of hope
to be tied down in endless domesticity
it filled her with a dread, she couldnt cope

she joined him on his flight into the future
and dragged him from the greyness of his past
hoped to save him from his gripping failure
she strangled him of air with hand held fast

the ripples on the lakes of his voidness
destination is the story of his life
shes busting out with bursting expectation
from the huff and puff and suffering of his wife

hey now
hey now
pay now ………..

loved to death

first draft…strange that i should be working on this song when news of andrew and joan downes taking their lives at dignitas comes through..happy little number..but the thought that you could love someone so much that you could take their life…well, could you? may change a few bits around but have a listen…

loved to death

lyrics to pay as you go now posted on lyrics page strangely enough

pay as you go

i was there when you hit the wall
i heard you call
but i know my limitations
i was there time and time again
its still the same
its the cruelest situation

you pay as you go
yes you do
well i couldnt be
what you want me to be
you think what you want
what you want
well i couldnt do
what you want me to do
you pay as you go
you think what you want

youre heading on a downward path
it would drive me mad
to see you
going down
going down
it could only end this way
you didnt have to say
to tell me
you were gone
you were gone

rpt..chorus

pay as you go and deception

pay as you go
