Picture Window |
| 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 |
