life has been unfaithful and it all promised so so much i am a relic i am just a petrified cry wheeled out once a year a cenotaph souvenir the applause nails down my silence la tristesse durera scream to a sigh to a sigh la tristesse durera scream to a sigh to a sigh i see liberals i am just a fashion accessory people send postcards and they all hope i m feeling well i retreat into self pity it s so easy where they patronise my misery la tristesse durera scream to a sigh to a sigh la tristesse durera scream to a sigh to a sigh la tristesse durera scream to a sigh to a sigh la tristesse durera scream to a sigh to a sigh i sold my medal it paid a bill it sells at market stalls parades milan catwalks oh the sadness will never go will never go away baby it s here to stay la tristesse durera scream to a sigh to a sigh4
