Of the front of my house
And I'll never see you again.
I closed my eyes for a second
And when they opened
You weren't there.
And the door shut shut
I was vacuum packed,
Shrink-wrapped out of air
And the spine collapsed
And the eyes rolled back
To stare at my starving brain,
And fully clothed, I float away
(I'll float away)
Down the Forth, into the sea
I think I'll save suicide for another day.
And I picture this corpse
On the M8 hearse
And I half run away to sleep
On a rolled up coat
Against the window
With the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap
Is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth road bridge?
On the Northern side
There's a Fife of mine
And a boat in the port for me,
And fully clothed, I float away
(I'll float away)
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself
Through drunken waves
These manic gulls
Scream it's okay
Take your life
Give it a shake
Gather up
All your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
So you just stepped out Of the front of my house And I'll never see you again. I closed my eyes for a second And when they opened You weren't there. And the door shut shut I was vacuum packed, Shrink-wrapped out of air And the spine collapsed And the eyes rolled back To stare at my starving brain, And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away) Down the Forth, into the sea I think I'll save suicide for another day. And I picture this corpse On the M8 hearse And I half run away to sleep On a rolled up coat Against the window With the strobe of the sun And the life I've led Am I ready to leap Is there peace beneath The roar of the Forth road bridge? On the Northern side There's a Fife of mine And a boat in the port for me, And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away) Down the Forth, into the sea I'll steer myself Through drunken waves These manic gulls Scream it's okay Take your life Give it a shake Gather up All your loose change I think I'll save suicide for another year.
