《A Badtime Story》歌词

[00:00:00] A Badtime Story - Skyclad

[00:00:59] Look what I got for Valentine's Day:

[00:01:02] Lady Luck came along took my dreams away

[00:01:06] And the tears hurt more than a broken nose -

[00:01:09] I bled from the thorns of a barbed-wire rose

[00:01:13] I know that I'm supposed to pray

[00:01:17] Thanking God for each new day

[00:01:21] Would it disturb his master plan

[00:01:24] To one day be a happy man

[00:01:28] I've tried to be positive tried to be nice

[00:01:31] I've turned the other cheek so I'd get hurt twice

[00:01:35] I've forced a smile I've dropped my guard

[00:01:39] I've seized the day but it bit me hard

[00:01:43] Life's too short but long enough to gain

[00:01:46] The cap and gown of misery suffering and pain

[00:01:50] No need to read my diary to see what lies before me -

[00:01:54] Just another chapter in my Badtime Story

[00:02:01] The end of love and laughter

[00:02:03] Now we're happy never after

[00:02:05] My next birthday will I fear

[00:02:08] Be much the same as every year

[00:02:12] Inside the wrapping there

[00:02:15] Are a few more wrinkles and a little less hair

[00:02:19] Another Autumn leaf is turning

[00:02:23] One more soul for candle-burning

[00:02:27] Hid beneath the sham and glitter

[00:02:30] I taste a cake that's stale and bitter

[00:02:34] I've tried to be positive tried to be nice

[00:02:38] I've turned the other cheek so I'd get hurt twice

[00:02:41] I've forced a smile I've dropped my guard

[00:02:45] I've seized the day but it bit me hard

[00:02:49] Life's too short but long enough to gain

[00:02:52] The cap and gown of misery suffering and pain

[00:02:56] No need to read my diary to see what lies before me -

[00:03:00] Just another chapter in my Badtime Story

[00:04:13] On my Christmas card last year it said:

[00:04:17] "So sorry Santa Claus is dead

[00:04:21] Crawl into the oven when you've had enough

[00:04:24] 'Cos it keeps sitting here quietly waiting to be stuffed "

[00:04:28] What a festive way to go

[00:04:32] Here beneath the mistletoe

[00:04:35] With open eyes and an open wrist

[00:04:39] To vanish from your Christmas list

[00:04:43] I've tried to be positive tried to be nice

[00:04:46] I've turned the other cheek so I'd get hurt twice

[00:04:50] I've forced a smile I've dropped my guard

[00:04:53] I've seized the day but it bit me hard

[00:04:57] Life's too short but long enough to gain

[00:05:01] The cap and gown of misery suffering and pain

[00:05:05] No need to read my diary to see what lies before me -

[00:05:08] Just another chapter in my Badtime Story
