A catchy track detailing the daily struggle of a failing relationship.
SAMPLE:
Lou Johnson - A Time To Love, A Time To Cry (1965)
- Stay with me
- Why must we say goodbye?
- Stay with me
- Why must we say goodbye?
VERSE 1:
DR. SYNTAX
- Last night changed it all
- We took a look at what we had and highlighted some major flaws
- We used to party all night till the break of dawn
- Now she's either trying to break my balls or doesn't take my calls
- It's like quality time is off limits
- And we just meet up to sleep and eat dinner
- It's not what it was, it's become something very different
- And every time I'm getting in I know I'm getting friction
- This isn't pessimism, it's some stressful living
- Recently everything I said was instantly met with resentful hissing
- And I've grown less and less forgiving
- I felt the tension brimming
- Till finally it came to a head
- No inuendo intended. I mean she vented and left
- It felt like the only thing we shared was contempt
- But later on I felt what I meant to have said was...
CHORUS:
Lou Johnson - A Time To Love, A Time To Cry (1965)
- Stay with me
- Why must we say goodbye?
- Darling, there's a time to love
- Why must we say good...?
- Why must we say goodbye?
VERSE 2:
DR. SYNTAX
- We both hold on feeling no enjoyment
- No drink no drugs but she knows my poison
- It's a vice that I have not supplied by the bag or the bottle
- But it's equally as soul-destroying
- Fly in the ointment
- "I'm so annoying"
- She's rolling her eyes - mild disappointment
- It's like I promised her the thrill ride of her life
- And all she got was the night bus to Croydon
- Nothing I can do, I cause nothing but the blues
- Damned if I don't, buggered if I do
- She's got me moping about scuffing up my shoes
- I feel to throw in the towel, chuck it in and move
- 'Cos while the other young folk are out partying
- Our home houses more arguments than in Parliament
- But when I reach for the suitcase, she pulls a cute face
- And talks to me in this new way, like...
CHORUS:
Lou Johnson - A Time To Love, A Time To Cry (1965)
- Stay with me
- Why must we say goodbye?
- Darling, there's a time to love
- Why must we say good...?
- Why must we say goodbye?
