Lyrics
The End of The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing
because of your obligation
to stay home and fight
Sitting down to a composition
Test the limits of your inhibition
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
it's over tonight
If someone tried
you'd realise
it's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
Piles of toast and broken promises
among the books and pens and reading glasses
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
It's over and done
If someone tried
you'd realise
it's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried
you'd sympathise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
At midnight in desperation
imagine total teenage destruction
The Prophets all predicted extinction
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
And if it all came to pass now
you feel we'd all deserve it somehow
But if someone tried (you'd realise)
you'd realise (and sympathise)
it's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried (you'd sympathise)
you'd sympathise (and realise)
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end
