Lyric of Irony

For every win someone had failed

for every life someone had died

for every coin there is always the head and so a tail

for every true story is always a tell tale.

For every vow is a broken promise,

for every first kiss that was bliss

is always another that drew in nemesis

for every friend made a new enemy is found

For every man a heart and dirt on his feets' sole

love engraved in hate-running free in his soul,

for every woman is a fountain of life

and then along comes miscarriage.

and now for every carriage used at the marriage

is another,-direction; towards living separate ways

for the same way we fall in love

is the same way we fall out of it

what happened to all the dreams and quivering nights

thoughts shared, secrets told and love made,

yet it's so easy to walk away

feeling no hollow and the other just mellow.

Trapped in a body, feeling old as the first snow

what happened to touring the world?

The child born a few minutes ago

Now you've got a job that's taken you far away.

Where went laughing with the neighbours

by the fresh pond beneath the summer sunset

that i mind my business so much

they've been murdered a while ago...

...that explains the smell through the window,

I would have thought I'd be the first to know.

For every coffee and tea shared

someone's ego is always being fed

in deceit you have found trust

honesty laced up with so much pride

it's no better than lies

then you wonder, 'why I don't have friends'.

So if we all failed now who has won

and if we all won, has anyone indeed won?

we hope our enemies die,

who would remain?...you'd be dead too.

Life's too short...so we all say

not that I think it is

we only simply realise at the 23rd hour

an entire day just about passed by

but hey i got one more hour...

what if we had another?

Life's too short...so we'd both agree.
