Lyrics

Some time ago
Two bodies lay here
One was water and one would sell his brother
His list of lovers in the cold
Covered by his stance
What a well-meaning man

And soldiers he used used to have along with them
Ten ones from sturdy Gonzaga
A box behind his bed

But he lost it
(I don't know)
But he lost it
(I don't know)
A good while ago
(I don't know, I do)

And it's in blue, boost him
(Just lost it)
Trust that you
(Just lost it)
You never know
(Just lost it, ooh)

That they
Filed through the gate all those times to
Shake your hand and say
"Well, we've hung around for so long
'Cause you were such a good friend, too"
Now you're lying on the kitchen floor
And you're, you're not even dead
But they haven't bothered to check yet, check yet

You're just smiling
You're just smiling
You're just smiling
So they assume they should be back home

You're smiling
It's your closest shot to being a beautiful thing
You're smiling
So our thanks to you, whatever you do
Don't come to
