" ...only to be rediscovered some years hence and acclaimed as a flawed but magnificent work of genius long after I have succumbed to a tragic, unrecognised and untimely death."

From: 'Pop Happenings Vol 4'

Left Me To Die

I feel so lonely
I can't believe this life is mine I'm leading
Nothing goes my way

I thought I'd got the call
I thought I'd got the best of all
I'm bleeding
I live it day by day

That's right
That's right
When you left, you left me to die
That's right
When you left, you left me to die


All my friends warned me about you
All the heartache you'd left in your wake
They quoted a litany of times, places and faces
Domestic disturbance and public disgrace
They took me to one side and asked me to leave you
They got me alone and slandered your name
And I believed every single word that they said
And I fell for you, just the same


I know you slept around
I know you slagged my name around
And I hate you
Hate what you've done to me

I demanded that you stayed
It only seemed to shove you away
I watched you leaving
Pushing through the gate

That's right
That's right
When you left, you left me to die
That's right
When you left, you left me to die

In the end it comes to this
A lonely boy betrayed by a kiss
In the end it comes to this
A lonely boy betrayed by a kiss


My world has turned to dust
What I had was not enough
And it's killing
I'm shot right through the heart

And should you then return
I'd have you back, I'd never learn
I'd be so willing
I get what I deserve

That's right
That's right
When you left, you left me to die
That's right
When you left, you left me to die
