LIFE HAS BEEN UNFAITHFUL
AND IT ALL PROMISED SO SO MUCH
I AM A RELIC
I AM JUST A PETRIFIED CRY
WHEELED OUT ONCE A YEAR, A CENOTAPH SOUVENIR
THE APPLAUSE NAILS DOWN MY SILENCE

LA TRISTESSE DURERA
SCREAM TO A SIGH, TO A SIGH
LA TRISTESSE DURERA
SCREAM TO A SIGH, TO A SIGH

I SEE LIBERALS
I AM JUST A FASHION ACCESSORY
PEOPLE SEND POSTCARDS
AND THEY ALL HOPE I'M FEELING WELL
I RETREAT INTO SELF-PITY, IT'S SO EASY
WHERE THEY PATRONISE MY MISERY

LA TRISTESSE DURERA
SCREAM TO A SIGH, TO A SIGH
LA TRISTESSE DURERA
SCREAM TO A SIGH, TO A SIGH

LA TRISTESSE DURERA
SCREAM TO A SIGH, TO A SIGH
LA TRISTESSE DURERA
SCREAM TO A SIGH, TO A SIGH

I SOLD MY MEDAL
IT PAID A BILL
IT SELLS AT MARKET STALLS
PARADES MILAN CATWALKS
ALL THE SADNESS WILL NEVER GO
WILL NEVER GO AWAY
BABY IT'S HERE TO STAY

LA TRISTESSE DURERA
SCREAM TO A SIGH, TO A SIGH
