Jes Perry: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

And I kneel on bended knees prostrate on the floor in front of you
This time

And I beg and plead for your deference, hands neatly folded
This time

I hate looking up at your face, want you to see me here in front of you
This time

As I reach for your body to cushion my fall but you back away again
This time
But I forgive you like always

'Cause if it only happens once
Might as well never have happened at all
If you only live life once
Why bother living at all

And I say that you're the rain
That I want and need to make my garden grow
This time

And I subjugate and stuff love down deep
to worship at the cult of you I've created
This time
But I forgive you like always

'Cause if it only happens once might as well never have happened at all
If you only live life once
Why bother living at all
Why bother living at all

And I'll spoil your wishes with my self-complaints
I'll rain hail on your parade
I'll browbeat and hammer your head on the concrete sidewalk
Just to hear your screams of pain
Screams of pain

And I say that you're the rain that I want and need to make my garden grow
This time

And I can't fall asleep at night
Can't decide between life's weight and lightness
This time
But I forgive you

'Cause if it only happens once might as well never have happened at all
If you only live life once
Why bother living at all
Why bother living at all
Why bother living at all
Living at all
Living at all
