Testo Empty - Del Amitri
Testo della canzone Empty (Del Amitri), tratta dall'album Waking Hours
Oh, don't get so distressed
If the good life won't arrive
You've been receiving SOS
When it's just your clock reading 505
And why are you so possessed
By the thought that she got freed?
And why are you figuring who's the best?
When just your luck ran out, and she chose me
We do not lie side by side
And mock the thought of you
And I don't take her hand and ask
Is this what he used to do?
'Cause I just want to free her from
Your jails of jealous dreams
'Cause at least, a house when it's empty stays clean
Stays clean
And I won't pretend
That I was simply swayed
It was a two-way thing, not a three-day fling
No secrets kept, no truth betrayed
And here's the house that held
The nightmare that went on
And you're sitting there wishing you'd never been born
With that self-inflicted crown of thorns
We do not lie side by side
And mock the thought of you
And I don't take her hand and ask
Is this what he used to do?
'Cause I just want to free her from
Your jails of jealous dreams
'Cause at least, a house when it's empty stays clean
And I won't pretend
That I'm the savior of the innocent and bad
But put two withered old blooms in a couple of rooms
And they'll behave like lunatics and crave what makes them sad
So here's a card that says
"Happy 22nd birthday, and I wish you were dead"
And here's a house that held
A bevy of devils and an angel as well
And you want what I've got
When all I've got is guilt
And a room that won't stay still
Filled with pockets full of crumpled up money
And a mantelpiece littered with bills
'Cause at least a house when it's empty
Yeah, at least a house when it's empty
Yeah, at least a house when it's empty
Yeah, it's clean
