I live in the wonderful and volatile city of Joburg in South Africa. Sometimes I get the urge to write stuff down. This is where it lives.

Great Lyrics... Part 6

These are possibly some of the best lyrics ever written... off a flawless CD.

Strange Glue - Catatonia

It was strange glue that held us together
While we both came apart at the seams
She said, 'Your place or mine
While we've still got the time'
So I played along with her schemes

But I don't have the right to be with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour in sight
I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me

When faced with my demons
I clothe them and feed them
And I smile, yes I smile
As they're taking me over

And if I cannot sleep for the secrets I keep
It's the price I'm willing to meet
The end of the night never comes too quickly for me

But I don't have the right to be with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour
I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me

When faced with my demons
I clothe them and feed them
And I'll smile, yes I'll smile
As they're taking me over

And if I cannot sleep for the secrets I keep
It's the prize I'm willing to steal
Oh the end of the night never comes too quickly for me
