Well this is such
A sad affair
I've opened up my heart
So many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter, sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby, liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste, both sweet and dry
These vintage years!
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein, das ist nicht
Das ende der welt
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele schönste, wiedershen
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile,
As if to compensate,
Then you break down and cry
A sad affair
I've opened up my heart
So many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter, sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby, liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste, both sweet and dry
These vintage years!
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein, das ist nicht
Das ende der welt
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele schönste, wiedershen
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile,
As if to compensate,
Then you break down and cry

Dang - first you people call me a dope, then you call Jim Morrison an asshole.
My my, such unmitigated hostility here at Song Meanies...
@NomadMonad -- Your feeble attempts at humor are quite awful.<br /> <br /> Now, let us be honest: no one called you a dope (although someone really should have), no one called Jim Morrison an asshole. It's clear that you knew this, and were desperately trying to be clever by "subverting" what they said. But "sadly," this attempt at intelligence wasn't successful.<br /> <br /> You WERE called an asshole, though, and quite deservedly. A minor reason you were called such is because you didn't know the ultra-famous guy's name. The major reason you were called that, though, is for referring to Morrison as "that dead guy." Which is disrespectful in the extreme. I'm sure that, if someone said something similar about Bryan Ferry after he passes, you'd go into a frothing rage, gnashing your teeth as loudly as possible in order for your immense displeasure to be heard.
