about

Recorded in Belgium in 2001
Inspired by a brief and tragic affair with Warners Music and a certain artist...

lyrics

Downing wine to kill the time, the day is young
Like a moth to a flame you’re waiting again, for your time to come

Why don’t they, why don’t they
Do the things they say?
People you meet, the'lly lie and they'll cheat

At the end of the day.

You can’t get your head round the things they said, were never so.
They twist and they turn so the more you learn, the less you know.

Why don’t they, why don’t they
Do the things they say?
People at heart, they're cold and they're dark, at the end of the day

What will it take, your heart on a plate
To find some trust?
But your face don’t fit so down you slip
Towards the dust

Why don’t they, why don’t they
Do the things they say?
All that you planned, will crumble to sand at the end of the day
