G      C                    G            C
Life    has been unfaithful
G            C                G   C
And it all promised so so much
G  C         G      C
I      am a relic
G             C       G    C
I am just a petrified cry
C                          Eb           G             C  G  C
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
C                          Eb
The applause nails down my silence

      G     C     G          C
La tristesse    durera
            G  C        G  C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
      G     C     G          C
La tristesse    durera
            G  C        G  C      D......
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

I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
