The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Not everything must end Not every romance must descend Not every lover's pact decays Not every sad mistake replays If you can love my growing gut My rotten teeth and greying hair Then I can guarantee I'll do The same as long as you can bear If you love my little poofy hands My skinny arms and reeking feet The way I dance, the way I eat If you love the morning spots I try And squeeze before you're up to see Each torn ankle, each weak knee But still my moods must swing To solitude I must still cling And you won't love me every day And suffer many a display But plates may smash and doors may slam My comments may be less than kind But that won't mean I've changed my mind I'm a huffy prick the best of times I love to sulf and shout and squeal But please don't doubt the way I feel Cause when the Sun burns up the earth Our progeny will raise a can Here's to where it all began And every day I hear the world Is cracking up, the end is near I hear we all should live in fear Bullies, burglers, paedophiles Bird flu and passive smoke (They're coming!) Volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal waves Heart disease and strokes (They're coming!) Terrorists with homemade bombs And factions everywhere (They're coming!) They're drinking in the street And they could steal your home And I don't care!
