happy ever after

HAPPY EVER AFTER

And as the night came down and fell onto the ground
It paused to make a sound especially for you
Just as I stopped myself from reaching off the shelf
A tonic for my health, I fell in love with you
And happy ever after, moving the earth and laughter
All that did ever matter, I wanted it for you

All gossip column fare, the lowest scum was there
A dull and boring pair, well I blame it all on you
A diamond is forever, a friend will leave you never
If I was half that clever I'd still be there with you
And happy ever after, moving the earth and laughter
All that did ever matter, I got it all from you

The drugs and waste exploded, got sick upon the roses
Observers held their noses in reverence to you
The cack, the path I trod, treated you like a God
And once I'd got the nod I fucked it up with you
And that happy ever after, moving the earth and laughter
All that did ever matter, I wanted it for you

But there before I's fate, I would have missed the date
Discretion breeds with hate when I'm in bed with you
I almost blew my lid, came close to getting rid
Ah, what I nearly did, yeah, it all comes back to you
And that happy ever after, moving the earth and laughter
All that did ever matter, I blame it all on you

I did the death's door dance and went into a trance
Your blinding arrogance, as though I would die for you
Forget all I've been saying, for the praise that kept you staying
Is just a nasty stain on my memory of you
And when you got your rocks off, threatened to knock my block off
I almost laughed my cock off but I kept it on for you
And that happy ever after, moving the earth and laughter
All that did ever matter, I did it all for you

And as the tale subsides and goes mouldy on all sides
There's a bottle on the tide that's got a note in it for you
And if you'd care to read, I dare say you would see
A truly heartfelt plea that I could be with you
And live happy ever after, moving the earth and laughter
All that did ever matter, I'll do it all for you
