(written 1993/recorded 2007)
so i'm sitting here as a knight of the pen
since i was born and long before then
wringing my pillows to get an idea
of how to survive or get you here
beyond endurance, i flounder and tumble
like a mole when its hill is about to crumble
a man becomes restless when fondness burns
then he'll get small profits and quick returns
unknown to him he quits love with hate
the final faux pas aggravates his fate
unknown to me i quit love with hate
and when the sun sets
and the moon rises
these things that we expect
are all we got in common
but this is the life
this is the life
this is my life
at its very height
get down, get down
get down with me, honey
this is the life, this is my life
at its height
so get down, get down
your face and mine, sunny
RSVP, RSVP
it wasn't to be
so i'm squatting here in my burnt down shack
whilst before the door i hear the lurking pack
my blood leaks out through the quill on the paper
that won't change the world, i'll better meet my maker
was it malapropism or an inadvertence
entailed by the entr'act behind the curtains
that i was struck by at my escritoire
„je t'aime, mon coeur“, et voilà au revoir
what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve about
it's a truism, believe - „my fellows, this is my shout
you know a man becomes restless when love starts to burn“
„i have to go now, my friends“ - „he will never learn“
and when the moon sets
and the sun rises
these things that we expect
are all we got in common
but this is the life
this is the life
this is my life
at its very height
get down, get down
get down with me, honey
this is the life, this is my life
at its height
so get down, get down
your face and mine, sunny
RSVP, RSVP
it wasn't to be
and a very faint remembrance
urges itself into my head
and lingers there subconsciously
it's the knell before i sped
this is the live
this is the live
this is my live at its very height
get down, get down
get down with me, honey
this is the life, this is my life
at its height
so get down, get down
your face and mine, sunny
RSVP, RSVP
it wasn't to be
