And if you can't have fun 'Cause someone sure had mine now they're having a whale of a time
A beard to tell a thousand stories never told before A beard to tell you tales, whilst the fireplace roars The closing of relationships and the opening of doors The starting of hostilities and the ending of wars
'Cause someone took my care They went there and then they were not there
And then I wouldn't feel quite so sad Then I'd feel like Paul the Saint and not Jack the Lad A baby that'll make me feel so very glad I've had a life of booze, but that's all I've ever had
'Cause I'm the King of Misery The Prince of the torn apart And you're the lighthouse keeper To the owner of a ship-wrecked heart
And if you can't take heart Take someone else's heart They came in, now I'm torn apart
Not that pigeon-chested Trafalgar grey The grey that greets you on that first October day The grey of Russian front, whilst wolves bay And the skeleton of life that love decays
'Cause you're the Queen of Sadness The Princess of the House of Pain And you're the final match To the holder of this flickering flame
