lyrics

He put a bullet on his head
it didn't make the headlines
Instead all he got was a short note
on the sixteenth page of a newspaper
no one reads no more
oooh, they donʼt read no more
She's had only one lover
all others men were just for pleasure
then he left for the Red Cross
heʼs now in Sudan saving lives
and she wishes he wasnʼt so selfless
oooh, why is he so selfish?
this city is beyond my grasp
but thereʼs something to her that lingers on
part of it is being a part of the scenery
part of it is having nowhere to go
He was a prophet of doom,
eagerly lusting for all to end
instead all he got was a string of new days
that failed to end with mankind
though one day he'll be right
and savour his victory with pride
Iʼm an ambitious go-getter
climbing letters that will be kicked
hung out to dry by strangers
whose expressions are the same
Iʼll keep banging my head on walls
Until they finally come down
this city is beyond my grasp
but thereʼs something to her that lingers on
part of it is being a part of the scenery
part of it is having nowhere to go
