Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cryWheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The applause nails down my silence
la tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sighI see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I'm feeling wellI retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
Where they patronise my misery
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sighI sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades milan catwalksAll the sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stayLa tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
