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 |
