about

(life is not a 24-hour party; we are not from Manchester)

lyrics

if life is to smile
let’s all go run in the rain some
I heard that passion’s coming back in style
better learn how to feign some
and if it’s all a cryptic mystery
let’s go steal the secret code
and if we’re made of the stars
let’s get ready to implode

if life is a trial
I’ve got too much to defend
I’m so over denial
cause we’re all found guilty at the end
and if we’re all dirty and vile-lent
let’s not hold on to haloes
let’s find some virgins and try, try, try again
to throw them into volcanos

if you see me coming look the other way
just look away from me
we both know it would be a disgrace
if anyone saw me laughing in your face
if you see me coming walk the other way
just walk away from me
we both know it’s a disgrace
but we can’t keep saving face forever

if life is divine
let’s all sit down and pray some
once our heretics are carefully defined
let’s grab our knives and go flay some
if we’re lost in information
let’s put our books back on the shelves
and hitch our wagons to someone
who’s got more answers than ourselves

If life is a joke
let’s give away the punchline
let’s all go have a smoke
and fuck each other and drunk drive
if we’re all desperate and cruel
better grow some thicker skin
because really and truly
you’re either a fool
or you’re your own evil twin

if you see me coming look the other way
just look away from me
we both know it would be a disgrace
if anyone saw me spitting in your face
if you see me coming walk the other way
just walk away from me
we both know it’s a disgrace
but we can’t keep up this pace forever
