Life has been unfaithful
Riff1 Riff1
And it all promised us so much
Riff1 Riff1
I am a relic
Riff1 Riff1
I am just a petrified cry
C D Eb F Riff1(x2)
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
C D Eb F5
The applause nails down my silence

La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I'm feeling well
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
Where they patronise my misery
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
