A sad song about the inability to love
Words and music by Nigel Clothier
|
This is all about disillusionment and loneliness - starving in the midst of plenty.
|
I set out with indifference, still my interest grew
Trapped into talkin’ bout the time I shared with you
The beer went down, you’re full of life as only you can be
Your kind remarks only serve to make me miserable
As I’ve come to know, I can’t love anyone
Try as I might, something isn’t right
As I’ve come to know, I can’t love anyone
Try as I might I got no plans beyond tonight
We weren’t born to be satisfied but I thought you’d more sense
Than acting like a love struck girl, who flicked your switch today?
The worst thing is you give me hope, please send me away
I grew up among cannibals, I am barely tame
As I’ve come to know, I can’t love anyone
Try as I might, something isn’t right
As I’ve come to know, I can’t love anyone
Try as I might I got no plans beyond tonight
When I got mixed up with you
I was painted in a man’s colours
Dull so the dirt don’t show
Now I’m every shade of the rainbow
Where’s that pot of gold?
You’re only good for so much, and I am fool enough
For you to take advantage of with all your hollow oaths
It’s set in for the evening, this foreign legion mood
How I wish I’d given up trying to be good
As I’ve come to know, I can’t love anyone
Try as I might, something isn’t right
As I’ve come to know, I can’t love anyone
Try as I might I got no plans beyond tonight
Something don’t feel right, as I’ve come to know
As I’ve come to know I can’t love anyone
