The first song I want to hear today

What am I to do
Someone here is really not happy (uh-oh.)
Put myself on a line (Guys always think they are the ones making the sacrifice. matyrdom syndrome. Elton John wrote a song entirely about it right?)
It seems I never got through to you
So I wean myself off slowly (Like its some drug.)

I'm a darkened soul
My streets all pop music and gold
Our lives are on TV
You switch off and try to sleep
People get so lonely (I like this stanza alot.)

I believe I believe I believe
Everything's out to sea (It's not about tsunami or the like. It's more about being out there, being of no significance, washed out not to be recovered.)
I believe I believe I believe I believe
That is the way it should be
I hope you feel the same (.....)

Everyone is dying (And paying taxes.)
Stop crying now here comes the sun
I didn't mean to hurt you no no no
It takes time to see what you have done (See?! It's the "oh I've been hurt but you'll never know macho guy thing again. Reticence. Sigh.)
So I wean myself off slowly

I believe I believe I believe
Love is the only one
I deceive I deceive I deceive I deceive
Cos' I'm not that strong (He doesn't really mean it.)
Hope you feel the same

And now it seems that we're falling apart
But I hope I see the good in you (It's one of those under-the-belt type of statement. This is not a hopeful song.)
Come back again
I just believe in you


Damon Albarn is such a fantastic lyricist for urban torch songs.
