Lyrics of Through a long & sleepless night

Through a long and sleepless night / i thought upon the jury's plight
If what is wrong can feel so right / then life's no longer black and
White
It's four o'clock and all's not well / in my private circle of hell
I contemplate my navel hair / and slowly slide into despair
This rut has fast become a trench / this smell has turned into the
Stench
Of rotten dreams and stale ideals / the past is snapping at my heels
Oh danny boy the pipes are blocked / with bedtime blues and future shock
I know the best is yet to come / but does it always take this long?
I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
But i will always be the bridegroom and never the bride
You deserve to be horse-whipped / but i've no horse that joke's so shit
And whips would only make it worse / don't tempt the lonely and perverse
The casualties of casual sex / the child of three with x-ray specs
The conman low in self-esteem / the casanova in your dreams
I'll scream and scream and scream until / i've made myself critically
Ill
In hospital in case you're there / in uniform, intensive care
I know you'll be the death of me / but what a cool death that would be
I'd rather die than be deprived / of wonderbras and thunder thighs
I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
But i will always be the bridegroom and never the bride
Bored of normality? why not go daft? / it's easy to do if you try
Slide right back down that self-confident path / you've just so
Laboriously climbed
Pickle your liver and addle your brain / live the bohemian life
Die young and penniless somewhere in spain / then again you could try
Just to live your own life
In the way that you find most amusing / i don't really care!
I can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
But i will always be the bridegroom and i will never be the bride
Never be the bride
