I love you, you bastard

I'm sad for those whose eyes are closed
Can't see further than the end of the nose
Always caught, it seems to me,
Between the devil and the deep blue sea

And always something bars the way
Oh you know that it's true
Forced to throw our dreams away
They never come true anyway

Well sometimes they do
Some dreams can
Some dreams do

And you can try
Sacrifice
Still friendships die

Can't justify
The sea of tears that I've cried
To the cannabis kid
It's really not important at all
No no no no

I'm sad for those whose hearts are froze
With every passing day his misery grows
Always caught, it seems to me,
Between sex and slavery

And like the fools who fail to see
From the top of the pole
And sway between the boring scene
And a fear of the dole

It was hard, hard loving you
It's a hard, hard thing to do

But it's a crime
To murder time
You save yours
I'll save mine

I can't stay around
And watch my love for you drown
While all those clowns
Slowly drag us down

I know life's joys so hopelessly few you know that you were
To mention someone special
I know life's joys so hopelessly few don't you know that you are
Somebody special
And now we all helplessly viewing the tension
I know life's joys so pitifully few

You cannot learn
The secrets I have learned
You're much too cool
There's no return
When mad jack starts to burn
His way through you
And he will
He will

You don't own me
I don't own you
You don't owe me
I don't owe you
