Tragedy Songtext
von Marc Almond

Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to be you
And do the things you always do?
Each time it hurts inside
The things you say, the games you play
Makes me feel like my heart has died
Just like my world fell in around me
Tears found me abandoned and they drowned me

Life is often a roller coaster ride
You slide, you hit the bottom hard
You want to crawl away and hide
But you gotta get up, shake yourself down
Start your life again and see the funny side

Here′s a little song to help the pain along
Come on and sing now


Tragedy, take a look and see
I'm laughing in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
I need a little hurt to get along
Oh yeah
Tragedy, take a look and be
A survivor in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
I need a little hurt to make me strong
Oh yeah

I′ve tasted love, love comes and goes
I've cried the tears, the tears have flowed
I felt the world had dragged me down
Not a single friend around
I needed time, I needed help
I had to find strength myself

Sometimes I walked a rocky path of regret
The sun came out shining but I still got wet

I could have had a drink or two
A pill to numb the blue
But I hung on for the ride in time

To see the funny side and now I sing


Tragedy, take a look and see
I'm laughing in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
I need a little hurt to get along
Oh yeah
Tragedy, take a look and be
A survivor in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
I need a little hurt to make me strong
Oh yeah

Make me strong
Oh yeah
Make me strong
Oh yeah

Tragedy, take a look and see

Tragedy, take a look and see
Tragedy, take a look and see
A survivor in the face of adversity

Yeah
Tragedy, take a look and see
Yeah
Tragedy, take a look and see
Yeah
Tragedy, take a look and see
A survivor in the face of adversity

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
