I feel only hatred for you
I want to sail away to sea
And I’d feel such pleasure too
If I looked back and saw you weep
I’ll go and train to be a priest
To ask God what life is for
And if I saw you cry with grief
I’d pray for you to suffer more
All you did with every day
Was to seek ways to destroy
You sought the trouble and the pain
When others look for love and joy
One night for a thousand days
Was all you ever gave to me
You painted our love all in grey
Ending our eternity
I will drink myself to death
And bawl obscene songs about you
And if you ever heard me sing them
I would thank the devil too
I will become a mercenary
Each morning face my final day
But if news of your death reached me
I’d dance upon your grave
And you beg me and you cry
As the days turn to long months
As if the flowers that I buy
Could bridge two continents
Love is death, praise be to hate
Love is something to despise
I realised this much too late
But now I’m old and I am wise
I will drink myself to death
And bawl obscene songs about you
And if you ever heard me sing them
I would thank the devil too
