Moments of sadness, moments of guilt Stains on the memory, stains on the quilt Chapter of incidents, chapter and verse Sub-heading chronic, paragraph worse
Lost in the limelight, baked in the blaze Did it for nine pence, those were the days Give me my acre and give me my plough Tell me tomorrow, don't bother me now
f**king Ada, f**king Ada f**king Ada, f**king Ada
Times at a distance, times without touch Greed forms the habit of asking too much Followed at bedtime by builders and bells Wait 'til the doldrums which nothing dispels
Idly, mentally, doubtful and dread Who runs with the beans shall not stale with the bread Let me lie fallow in dormant dismay Tell me tomorrow, don't bother today
f**king ada, f**king ada f**king ada, f**king ada
Tried like a good 'un, did it all wrong Thought that the hard way was taking to long To late for regret or chemical change Yesterday's targets have gone out of range
Failure infolds me with clammy green arms Damn the excursions and blast the alarms For the rest of what's natural I'll lay on the ground Tell me tomorrow if I'm still around
f**king Ada, f**king Ada f**king Ada, f**king Ada f**king Ada, f**king Ada f**king Ada, f**king Ada (repeat lots)
