Moot Pt.
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pyjamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
Lets get out of this place
Past the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling and calling
But forget it all
I know I will
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Whats been going on
Now that you have gone
Theres no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Im at the car park, the airport
The baggage carousel
The people keep on crowding
Im wishing I was well
I said its no occasion
Its no story I could tell
At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
I bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune all for you
But its not my conscience
That hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do

I didn't know this song until I started to read the lyrics. It's a decent song, I think, but ;0) I hope whoever she is, she doesn't forgive him because he wrote her a song to say he is sorry.
Well damn. At least its a good song.
I'm not sure that he's actually apologizing. It sounds more like just stating the facts, to me. It's kind of an exclamation of self-loathing! That's how I've often felt when I sang the song, anyway. Singing's a healthy way to get it out. :)
