You Lost My Memory lyrics
Song information
Artist: Skyclad
Album: Folkemon
Lyrics
Unstoppable force and immovable object
Repel one another when by chance colliding
The brownian-motion within this love potion
Ensures our opinions are always dividing
I am from mars my dear;
You hail from venus
A meeting star-crossed
Like the sun and the moon
Destined to let this cruel world
Come between us
Our last kiss eclipsed by a shadow at noon
A rose that is built
Out of music by moonlight;
Petals stained ruby with nightingale blood
Cast down in disgust
To be crushed by a cart-wheel
Because of mere trivia misunderstood
We quest for a grail of illusive perfection
Each hoping we'll find it some glorious day
Yet gaze with remorse at our jaded reflection
That looks like the picture of dorian gray
[Chorus:]
Siamese twins who were joined at the heart
Love's an affliction without a known remedy
Blunt-bladed fate
Deemed to cleave us apart;
Emotional surgery pays no indemnity
Some seek release with effete anaesthesia
Others adapt to the role of sworn enemy
You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;
It was far easier losing my memory
And the nightingale sang:
"Sing love's lament
With a thorn at your breast
Impaled by her barb;
Cruel and unforgiving
A million dead poets would gladly attest;
Heart-ache's a keepsake
To remind us we're living."
[Chorus:]
Siamese twins who were joined at the heart
Love's an affliction without a known remedy
Blunt-bladed fate
Deemed to cleave us apart;
Emotional surgery pays no indemnity
Some seek release with effete anaesthesia
Others adapt to the role of sworn enemy
You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;
It was far easier losing my memory
