The End of a Perfect Day

歌詞

(Kirsty MacColl/Johnny Marr) I want to tell you something It's not a secret or anything You're not alone in being alone At the end of a perfect day And if you leave all your dependents Then they will gain their independence Don't make a martyr of yourself It's just the end of a perfect day And it's never how it seems The rain may fall on the best laid schemes But in a written testimonial I'd say I never really knew you anyway I want to tell you something Now don't go crazy or anything Just want to tell you that it's over It's the end of a perfect day Do you want sign language? Don't want a knuckle sandwich! Now you can love or you can hate it's just The end of a perfect day You can't get inside someone So don't ask me if we're close I really couldn't tell you But I know you wouldn't really listen anyway It's a pain you have to bear And it's always going to be there But if you disappeared tomorrow Then the world would carry on without you anyway Mind over matter it seems Can stop you falling apart at the seams It's a matter of honour with me I could write out a hundred times Put my hand on my heart and say That I don't want to lie Don't want to lie Don't want to lie About the way it is I want to tell you something Don't act surprised now or anything Now you can revel in yourself 'cause It's just the end of a perfect day No it's not a pretty world out there With people dying of their own despair But in a written testimonial you'd say You never really knew them anyway I'll never satisfy you I'll never even try to I really couldn't tell, it just depends what you remember At the end of a perfect day
