Picture Window [London, UK 2011] [Live][#]
Ben Folds
We checked into the hospital New Year's EveNothing to be done about thatRainbows, daffodils, she's not naiveSymbolism's all crapThere's a big picture window in the room on the wardWith a view over Parliament HillBut the view offers more joy than they can affordWhen there's this much pain to killYou know what hope isHope is a bastardHope is a liar, a cheat and a teaseHope comes near you, kick its backsideGot no place in days like theseThe dust, the darkness around surrenders to colorAs the fireworks streak the skyAnd their window gives them the prettiest pictureTheir useless luck makes her want to cryThen it turns midnightThe shitty whole year's spentAnother mom deserves some sparkling wineAnd she nearly gives into the momentBut he'll still be sick in two-thousand and nineYou know what hope isHope is a bastardHope is a liar, a cheat and a teaseHope comes near you, kick its backsideGot no place in days like theseAnd just as she's thinkingOf pulling the blind downA rocket bursts in front of her eyesThe city lit up London's given a bright crownAnd she tries and fails to stopSpirits riseYou know what hope isHope is a bastardHope is a liar, a cheat and a teaseHope comes near you, kick its backsideGot no place in days like theseYou know what hope isHope is a bastardHope is a liar, a cheat and a teaseHope comes near you, kick its backsideGot no place in days like these
