lyrics

I thought I’d try to upset you by speaking ill of the dead
I want to try to forget you but I can't get the sound of you out of my head

We've both been here before
I thought I’d be wiser and stronger
Breaking down at your door
Despite my best efforts
This hopeless endeavour
This match made in heaven

You might consider it foolish to speak ill of the dead
I think I’m cool, well coolish; the way that its going I’m losing my thread

We've both been here before
I thought I’d be wiser and stronger
But I'm still here at your door
Despite my best efforts
This hopeless endeavour
This match made in heaven

Speaking ill of the dead
As I hold my head in shame
Speaking ill of the dead
Speaking ill of the dead

I thought I’d try to upset you by speaking ill of the dead
I want to try to forget you but I can't get the sound of you out of my head

We've both been here before
I thought I’d be older and wiser
But I'm still here at your door
Despite my best efforts
This hopeless endeavour
This match made in heaven

Speaking ill of the dead; as I hold my head in shame
Speaking ill of the dead; as I try to shift the blame
Speaking ill of the dead

Despite my best efforts
This hopeless endeavour
This match made in heaven
