[bad word] down streets, the civil wars, 
you don't go there anymore - 
it's how you used to live. 

the trampled hopes, the made-up laws, 
the itchy feet, the pub quiz bores - 
it's so hard to forgive. 

weekend slimmers count their chains, 
still wanting someone else to blame. 
you watch [bad word] and go. 

empty nightclub escapades, 
they tell you more than words can say - 
that open doors get closed. 

the empty rooms, the empty house,

someday soon, you'll work it out - 
still finding the way back home. 

the schoolyard ghosts, the playtime fears, 
you take your pills, they disappear - 
the people that you've known. 

 [bad word]  

all sweet things, 
all sweet things [bad word] again. 

when the heartbeat slows. 
when the silence grows.
