Picture Window

歌詞

They checked into the hospital New Year's Eve Nothing to be done about that Rainbows, daffodils; she's not naive Symbolism's all crap There's a big picture window in their room on the ward With a view over Parliament Hill But the view offers more joy than they can afford When there's this much pain to kill You know what hope is? Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you? Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these At dusk the darkness surrenders to color As the fireworks streak the sky And their window gives them the prettiest picture Their useless luck makes her wanna cry Then it turns midnight, the shitty old year spent Another Mom gives her some sparkling wine And she nearly gives in to the moment But he'll still be sick in 2009 You know what hope is? Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you? Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these Just as she's thinking of pulling the blind down A rocket bursts in front of her eyes The city lit up; London's given a bright crown And she tries and fails to stop spirits rise You know what hope is? Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you? Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these You know what hope is? Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you? Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these
