This song was inspired by Alanis Morissette, but not necessarily in a good way. Musically it was an experiment in unusual chord fingering.
lyrics
What's all the drama,
What's all the crying,
It's only romance,
No one is dying?
Why does it matter that no one loves you,
Would it be better to die of the flu?
I'm lonely no more,
and no less for sure,
if you could only see,
what it's done for me.
I've no need for sex,
nor a tryst on the deck,
though I'll honestly say,
I never got it anyway.
Does your libido,
mean all so much,
would you prefer to,
walk with a crutch?
It's all illusion,
the ache of the heart,
a ridiculous game,
of which we all play a part.
I'm lonely no more,
and no less for sure,
if you could only see,
what it's done for me.
I've no need for sex,
nor a tryst on the deck,
though I'll honestly say,
I never got it anyway.
So, why all the anger,
Why rage in the dark,
Your lover left you,
for a romp in the park?
You're better without them,
It was all a lie,
There is no Prince Charming,
so, spit in their eye.
I'm lonely no more,
and no less for sure,
if you could only see,
what it's done for me.
I've no need for sex,
nor a tryst on the deck,
though I'll honestly say,
I never got it anyway.
The fairy book stories,
you were told as a child,
Have come back to haunt you,
make you weak, old and mild.
There is no happy after,
but for master esquire,
so, leave your memories,
on the funeral pyre.
Learn some perspective,
and take it in stride,
With age comes no wisdom,
but the pull of the tide.
