《Shelf Life》歌词

[00:00:04] Shelf Life - Lloyd Cole

[00:00:11] I am consumed by delusions of grandeur

[00:00:18] I'm fallen prey to the beautiful girl

[00:00:25] I have seen romance in the obvious quarters

[00:00:33] And I have painted myself into that world

[00:00:52] I have constructed my own personal Babel

[00:00:59] But many passages remain out of print

[00:01:06] Leaving me in an unresolved sentence

[00:01:13] Without an idea of where it went

[00:01:33] I have developed an unnatural candour

[00:01:40] In contradiction to all I hold dear

[00:01:47] I think of myself as tall and silent

[00:01:54] This little voice is all that I hear

[00:02:06] Now the night's drawing in

[00:02:16] I'm your unworthy friend

[00:02:21] At the untimely end of a lifetime

[00:02:57] Thinking I might hold on to my first marriage

[00:03:04] I learned the language of the self obsessed

[00:03:11] It was only later at the post-grad parties

[00:03:18] That it rewarded me with great success

[00:03:38] No longer waiting for my prayers to be answered

[00:03:44] No longer waiting for my publisher's call

[00:03:52] No longer charming in my reminiscence

[00:03:59] Only immersed in a faint afterglow

[00:04:11] Now the night's drawing in

[00:04:20] I'm your unworthy friend

[00:04:26] At the ungodly end of a lifetime
