[00:00.58]A Badtime Story - Skyclad
[00:59.24]Look what I got for Valentine's Day:
[01:02.47]Lady Luck came along took my dreams away
[01:06.12]And the tears hurt more than a broken nose -
[01:09.83]I bled from the thorns of a barbed-wire rose
[01:13.59]I know that I'm supposed to pray
[01:17.55]Thanking God for each new day
[01:21.05]Would it disturb his master plan
[01:24.67]To one day be a happy man
[01:28.39]I've tried to be positive tried to be nice
[01:31.96]I've turned the other cheek so I'd get hurt twice
[01:35.38]I've forced a smile I've dropped my guard
[01:39.31]I've seized the day but it bit me hard
[01:43.19]Life's too short but long enough to gain
[01:46.66]The cap and gown of misery suffering and pain
[01:50.34]No need to read my diary to see what lies before me -
[01:54.15]Just another chapter in my Badtime Story
[02:01.56]The end of love and laughter
[02:03.12]Now we're happy never after
[02:05.39]My next birthday will I fear
[02:08.76]Be much the same as every year
[02:12.34]Inside the wrapping there
[02:15.78]Are a few more wrinkles and a little less hair
[02:19.88]Another Autumn leaf is turning
[02:23.65]One more soul for candle-burning
[02:27.31]Hid beneath the sham and glitter
[02:30.85]I taste a cake that's stale and bitter
[02:34.64]I've tried to be positive tried to be nice
[02:38.04]I've turned the other cheek so I'd get hurt twice
[02:41.45]I've forced a smile I've dropped my guard
[02:45.18]I've seized the day but it bit me hard
[02:49.08]Life's too short but long enough to gain
[02:52.77]The cap and gown of misery suffering and pain
[02:56.55]No need to read my diary to see what lies before me -
[03:00.16]Just another chapter in my Badtime Story
[04:13.49]On my Christmas card last year it said:
[04:17.12]"So sorry Santa Claus is dead
[04:21.13]Crawl into the oven when you've had enough
[04:24.35]'Cos it keeps sitting here quietly waiting to be stuffed "
[04:28.36]What a festive way to go
[04:32.19]Here beneath the mistletoe
[04:35.67]With open eyes and an open wrist
[04:39.36]To vanish from your Christmas list
[04:43.03]I've tried to be positive tried to be nice
[04:46.62]I've turned the other cheek so I'd get hurt twice
[04:50.04]I've forced a smile I've dropped my guard
[04:53.76]I've seized the day but it bit me hard
[04:57.67]Life's too short but long enough to gain
[05:01.32]The cap and gown of misery suffering and pain
[05:05.02]No need to read my diary to see what lies before me -
[05:08.80]Just another chapter in my Badtime Story
