The Road Is Looking Wretched Paroles

But knowing my luck, I couldn't even catch a cold

I spent a little while in limbo
I spent a little while insane
I spent a little while pondering the complexities
Of asking you your name
Oh I've heard them sing 'can't buy me love'
But it's such an unfamiliar refrain
Because the love I sought has already been sold

There's a disambiguation
Between my pining and my pride
I tend to favour the latter
As the former is harder to define
I planned to share with you an anecdote I heard
Whilst dangling from the vine
But you tuned out before the punch line was ever told

An unnecessary, but relevant revelation
Presented itself to me in due course All I know is that I woke up feeling old

And no, I don't feel so sorry
When I hear them call my name
Because I've heard it maybe once or twice before
And each time it sounds the same
And a part of me still wants to catch the bouquet
Tossed by fickle lady fame
But with my luck, I couldn't even catch a cold
