Craftsmanship And Poetry

Another evening on your own

You wander round your perfect home

You watch the silent furniture you carefully picked out earlier this year

You wonder how it came to this

Had your aim but it seems you missed

All you wanted was his love but you soon discovered that was not enough

Oh, the silence

Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart

Is so loud

You thought that he could save your life

If only you would be his wife

You thought the perfect wedding day would make this awful headache go away

Oh, the silence

Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart

Stop spilling red wine on the carpets

You know the stains won't come off anymore

Come on surprise us, no compromises this time

Ask more of life, ask more...

Oh, the silence

Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart

And in your life

Ask more of life

Ask more in life

Ask more...

Ask yourself how much you care

About dining chairs and Baudelaire

Nor craftmanship or poetry can keep a young girl happy forever

You need someone to turn you on, you need to let yourself have fun
