ANDY BELL "As I Prepare To Take My Life" (Ashton / Frost)
As I prepare to take my life As I prepare for this final long knife night Like a Kristallnacht for a lost, dark soul A requiem for the belief Every hole's a goal
We are better parted We are better parted We are better parted Better parted
As I prepare to take my life As I disengage before an ending I won't like All the rejection I prophecised From the arc of our eyes meet To this estranged bitter goodbye
We are better parted We are better parted We are better parted Better parted
The only testament That I will leave Is a strong sense That dreams are often not achieved In my death-note diary A tome of cries for help A jealous bitter threnody Of years spent without you
All the years spent without you The years spent without you All the years spent without you You and your wildly different point of view
We are better parted We are better parted We are better parted Better parted Better parted
Something of the darkness blackened all my days Beyond anything Prozac could take away Sweet tormenting dreams of beauty Seems mourning you became my tour of duty As I prepare to take my life Be happy you were once the crack That let in light
There was no-one only ever you Romantic, sycophant, stalker or fool Take your point of view It's just that you Let in light Let in light Let in light
