16 Bitter-Sweet
(Andy Mackay/Brian Ferry)
Well this is such A sad affair
I've opened up my heart So many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear Every salted tear
It wrings Bitter-sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste - both sweet and dry
These vintage years!
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein, dass ist nicht Das Ende der Welt
Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst
Und das Spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss
Noch viele Schoenste ... Wiedersehn
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile -
As if to compensate -
Then you break down and cry
--
The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.
R.E.M.
