A Badtime Story |
| Look what I got for Valentine’s Day: |
| Lady Luck came along, took my dreams away, |
| And the tears hurt more than a broken nose — |
| I bled from the thorns of a barbed-wire rose. |
| I know that I’m supposed to pray |
| Thanking God for each new day. |
| Would it disturb his master plan |
| To one day be a happy man? |
| I’ve tried to be positive, tried to be nice. |
| I’ve turned the other cheek so I’d get hurt twice. |
| I’ve forced a smile, I’ve dropped my guard |
| I’ve seized the day but it bit me hard. |
| Life’s too short, but long enough to gain |
| The cap and gown of misery, suffering and pain. |
| No need to read my diary to see what lies before me — |
| Just another chapter in my Badtime Story. |
| The end of love and laughter |
| now we’re happy never after. |
| My next birthday will, I fear |
| Be much the same as every year. |
| Inside the wrapping there |
| Are a few more wrinkles and a little less hair. |
| Another Autumn leaf is turning, |
| One more soul for candle-burning. |
| Hid beneath the sham and glitter |
| I taste a cake that’s stale and bitter. |
| I’ve tried to be positive, tried to be nice. |
| I’ve turned the other cheek so I’d get hurt twice. |
| I’ve forced a smile, I’ve dropped my guard |
| I’ve seized the day but it bit me hard. |
| Life’s too short, but long enough to gain |
| The cap and gown of misery, suffering and pain. |
| No need to read my diary to see what lies before me — |
| Just another chapter in my Badtime Story. |
| On my Christmas card last year it said: |
| «So sorry, Santa Claus is dead. |
| Crawl into the oven when you’ve had enough |
| 'Cos it keeps sitting here quietly waiting to be stuffed.» |
| What a festive way to go |
| Here beneath the mistletoe, |
| With open eyes and an open wrist |
| To vanish from your Christmas list. |
| I’ve tried to be positive, tried to be nice. |
| I’ve turned the other cheek so I’d get hurt twice. |
| I’ve forced a smile, I’ve dropped my guard |
| I’ve seized the day but it bit me hard. |
| Life’s too short, but long enough to gain |
| The cap and gown of misery, suffering and pain. |
| No need to read my diary to see what lies before me — |
| Just another chapter in my Badtime Story. |
