Long Gone Songtext
von The Barren Spinsters

It′s cold and it's miserable
It′s gloomy and it's grey
I'm not talkin′ bout the weather
I′m just talkin' bout today
Waiting at the station for the penny to drop
When you realise it′s a lemon
With a cherry on top
You're gonna do what you do
Until it surely bothers you
Swearing at the mirror
Til you′re black and you're blue
So forget St. Peter and forget St. Paul
Cos they both set you up for a mighty fine fall, now


It′s obscene and absurd
To let the meaning of words
Obstruct opinions of those
Who get your vision all blurred
Critical thinking seems okay at first glance
It's often harder once you're given the chance
Because you′re supposed to be seen
And not supposed to be heard
Until you′re coming of age
And all expenses are incurred
The future is yours to bring us back from the brink
But I'm sorry everybody, I was never taught to think, now
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone for me
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone for me

And now I′ve ticked all the boxes
And I've jumped through the hoops
And I′m working on my weekend
Cos I'm trying to recoup
A little money from here, to buy some time over there
To fuel my pointless obsessions
That will take me nowhere
And now I walk through the suburbs
With my head in my hand
And I try my very best, but I′ll never understand
So give me strength, give me confidence,
Ability and wine
And something philosophical to help me pass the time, I said
(Help me) I can see what's going on
(Help me) You don't think there′s nothing wrong
(Help Me) I just need a little lie down


Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone for me
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone for me

Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone for me
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone
Long gone, I think that ship is long gone for me
