It's Not The End Of The World, Jonah.

lyrics

Memory makes lovers of us all,
So I left her there and waited down the hall.
I saw something sad when I was small,
Memory makes others of us all.

Let's go to the disco,
I know Rome is burning,
It's the Feast Of Saint Sebastian!
When the butterflies get pinned.
Hang your tears from chandeliers,
It appears we are learnin',
Getting older is a fucking drag!
We have a snag,
It's sad,

But it's not the end of the world, Jonah.
It's not the end of the world, Jonah.
“Come out!” he shouts.

I had a dream last night,
I was wearing boots again.
Going to the opera with a Stanley knife.
You looked younger too inside that spotlight,
Singing The Happiest Days Of My Life.

Let's go to the disco,
I know Rome is burning,
It's the Feast Of Saint Sebastian!
When the butterflies get pinned.
Hang your tears from chandeliers,
It appears we are learnin',
Getting older is a fucking drag!
We have a snag.
It's sad.

But it's not the end of the world, Jonah.
It's not the end of the world, Jonah.
“Come out!” he shouts.

I'm drinking red wine and Coca-Cola,
With some skinhead girl from Barcelona.
But neither of us are any closer to the Holy Grail.
