La Tritesse Durera

Lyrics by richey james and nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore





Life has been unfaithful

And it all promised so so much

I am a relic

I am just a petrified cry

Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir

The applause nails down my silence



La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh



I see liberals

I am just a fashion accessory

People send postcards

And they all hope i'm feeling well

I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy

Where they patronise my misery



La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh



I sold my medal

It paid a bill

It sells at market stalls

Parades milan catwalks

The sadness will never go

Will never go away

Baby it's here to stay



La tristesse durera

Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
