See A Friend In Tears* - Momus[00:00:00]
So men are still at war in ireland[00:00:15]
For certain songs and certain dates[00:00:22]
The tender gave way to the firebrand[00:00:30]
And europe gave way to the states[00:00:37]
So now that money's all but scentless[00:00:43]
Noses and consciences are clear[00:00:51]
The pointless flowers can be dispensed with[00:00:58]
But see a friend in tears[00:01:06]
So our defeats are just reminders[00:01:13]
Of death that waits behind it all[00:01:20]
The body wilts before the mind does[00:01:28]
Surprised to see how soon it falls[00:01:34]
It's true our women have deceived us[00:01:41]
All hunted species disappear[00:01:48]
It's true we've shot the golden eagles[00:01:56]
But see a friend in tears[00:02:03]
It's true our cities are exhausted[00:02:10]
Made by and for the middle aged[00:02:17]
Our weakness gave them more than force did[00:02:25]
We thought that love could cure a toothache[00:02:31]
And in the underground we're drowning[00:02:39]
Accelerating through the years[00:02:46]
You who think you'll find the truth by frowning[00:02:53]
See a friend in tears[00:03:00]
It's true our mirrors don't show heroes[00:03:08]
We lack the courage to be jews[00:03:15]
Without the elegance of negroes[00:03:23]
With our youthful fireworks all defused[00:03:30]
And all these men who are our brothers[00:03:37]
Wonder why we don't want to hear[00:03:44]
How their worst enemies are their lovers[00:03:51]
See a friend in tears[00:03:59]
