I am trying to be heroic
|
In an age of modernity
|
I am trying to be heroic
|
because all around me history sings
|
|
So I enjoy and I devour
|
flesh and wine and luxury
|
But in my heart, I am lukewarm;
|
nothing ever really touches me
|
|
At Les Trois Garons
|
we meet at precisely 9 o'clock
|
I order the foie gras
|
and I eat it with complete disdain
|
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes
|
but when we kiss, I feel nothing
|
|
Feasting on sleeping pills
|
and Marlboro Reds
|
(self-pity won't save you)
|
|
Oh how our, our parents, they suffered for nothing
|
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
|
Like the 80s never happened.
|
People are afraid, are afraid to merge on the freeway.
|
Disappear here
|
|
We stroll past the queue
|
into the magazine launch party
|
I am handed a pill
|
and I swallow with complete disdain
|
Kick-drum pounds off the high-hat
|
Remember to look bored
|
We suck each others' faces
|
and make sure we are noticed
|
(Cocaine won't save you)
|
|
Because East London is a vampire
|
it sucks the joy right out of me
|
How we long for corruption in these golden years
|
|
Oh how our, our parents, they suffered for nothing
|
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
|
Like the 80s never happened
|
People are afraid, are afraid to merge on the freeway
|
Disappear here
|
Disappear here
|
Disappear here
|
Disappear here
|
Disappear here
|
