I longed for her when I was just 18 |
| [00:12.839] |
She was so pure to me I couldn’t even picture her nude |
| [00:23.613] |
And when she told me she didn’t want to be my lover |
| [00:34.242] |
I cried for hours up on Carlton Hill |
| [00:40.353] |
While the sun set behind the unfinished monument |
| [00:45.947] |
Tragedy and farce |
| [00:51.308] |
Tragedy and farce |
| [00:56.625] |
Tragedy and farce |
| [01:02.139] |
Tragedy and farce |
| [01:07.520] |
Tragedy and farce |
| [01:12.969] |
Tragedy and farce |

Ten years later at my sister’s wedding |
| [01:28.229] |
Drunk on champagne in an upstairs room |
| [01:34.734] |
She let me take off her all her clothes |
| [01:38.814] |
I’d had to wait so long for that first embrace |
| [01:42.236] |
From that miserable day in ’78 |
| [01:45.603] |
The first dry kiss… to this! |
| [01:50.515] |
She invited me back to her empty place |
| [01:53.024] |
Where the irony hit me like a slap in the face |
| [02:01.347] |
Either I was too big or she was too small (tragedy and farce) |
| [02:03.930] |
But there was no way on earth we would ever ball |
| [02:06.648] |
Not even Vaseline and a lot of mutual pain (tragedy and farce) |
| [02:09.279] |
Could put Humpty Dumpty together again |
| [02:12.038] |
Like a square peg forced into a round hole (tragedy and farce) |
| [02:15.002] |
This into that just wouldn’t go |
| [02:17.631] |
Though of course… we could still kiss (tragedy and farce) |
| [02:22.791] |
History plays the first time as tragedy, the second as farce |
