lyrics

Bored bored bored bored bored
Tired tired tired tired tired tired
Lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely
Fine fine fine

It's the same old song
It's been sung before
The words that fell like rocks
Eroded to pebbles now

Leaving me lost for words
All their juice has gone
Someone has got there first
And they said it best

The words are forged by giants
Minted with their face
Such is their currency
The edges worn smooth with use

To coin a cliché again
Think of the way you feel
Maybe no-one else
Ever has felt that way

But what if the words aren't there?
Feelings are bells in space
Clappers flapping but silently
No medium for resonance
And so we label the secret doors
Although the feeling might be only yours
Perhaps the words we use aren't quite right
But there's no alternative

And so we say
Love love love love love
Anger anger anger anger anger anger
Hate hate hate hate hate
Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry

I tell myself
I mean every word
But words can mean anything
And it's words I tell myself with

Frustrated angry high
Tired embarrassed weary shy heartbroken
Lonely happy daft pensive
Melancholy bored
