After The Ceasefire |
After the ceasefire that they swore would last |
She had the bright idea «To hell with the past!» |
That’s where love lay bleeding licking at it’s wounds |
The times were never changing sticking to their guns |
She thought she really meant it, that’s the honest truth |
She felt it in her marrow, she felt it in her boots |
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire |
The man she married, he was something else |
He adored the chaos, smashing all the delft |
The man she married, he was something else |
He had the sudden notion it’s time to call a truth |
It’s time to lead a quiet life for the love of Jeeze |
Let’s sit down together and engage in talks of peace |
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire |
He was Irish Catholic, she had English blood |
They met in a good restaurant, they gave the secret knot |
She ordered fish and lentils, he the kidney stew |
She played with bold impulses, wine turned his lips blue |
They left in separate taxis to the same address |
In case someone was watching, and there they did confess |
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire |
It was all the others' fault, they thought at any rate |
After the ceasefire to put an end to hate |
She was reaching for her knife, he a fork and spoon |
They sat about devouring the poison of the moon |
Shared a fatal cigarette neither one would light |
Their breath was flame enough, nobody said goodnight |
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire |
After the ceasefire that they swore would last |
They had the strange idea of living in the past |
That’s where love lies bleeding licking at it’s wounds |
The times are never changing sticking to their guns |
They sit about devouring the poison of the moon |
The times were never singing the same tune |
After the ceasefire |
After the ceasefire |
After the ceasefire |
After the ceasefire |
