Madness Songtext
von Middle Distance Runner

Son, you′re old enough to know now
You're old enough to hear this
I never wanted anyone
Blood, it dribbles from my earlobe
And it sinks into the carpet
And I never saw it coming

I′ve been living in a vacuum all my life
And it's sucking the life from me
This Hell (or couldn't you tell?)
Is not where I would choose to be


One of these days I′ll be back, I promise
To deliver you from all of this
And put you back where you oughta be
Come to the back of the room, I′ll show you
Where I've hidden all the good stuff
That I never showed to anyone

I′ve been living in a vacuum all my life
And it's sucking the life from me
This Hell (or couldn′t you tell?)
Is not where I would choose to be

Son, you're old enough to know now
You′re old enough to hear this
I never wanted anyone
But love is greater than desire
And it's killing your poor father
