Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Shelf Life , by - Lloyd Cole. Song from the album Music in a Foreign Language, in the genre АльтернативаShelf Life |
| I am consumed by delusions of grandeur |
| I’m fallen prey to the beautiful girl |
| I have seen romance in the obvious quarters |
| And I have painted myself into that world |
| I have constructed my own personal Babel |
| But many passages remain out of print |
| Leaving me in an unresolved sentence |
| Without an idea of where it went |
| I have developed an unnatural candour |
| In contradiction to all I hold dear |
| I think of myself as tall and silent |
| This little voice is all that I hear |
| Now the night’s drawing in |
| I’m your unworthy friend |
| At the untimely end of a lifetime |
| Thinking I might hold on to my first marriage |
| I learned the language of the self obsessed |
| It was only later at the post-grad parties |
| That it rewarded me with great success |
| No longer waiting for my prayers to be answered |
| No longer waiting for my publisher’s call |
| No longer charming in my reminiscence |
| Only immersed in a faint afterglow |
| Now the night’s drawing in |
| I’m your unworthy friend |
| At the ungodly end of a lifetime |
