Recorded in the stairwell while hoping no neighbours would be disturbed or interrupt the first and only take, moments after processing the emotions and words in my mind.
lyrics
Some days there is nothing to say
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Some days there is nothing to say
Nothing at all
Your left with naught to say
What a terrible day
What a terrible day
Looking back at past weeks
There’s nothing to say
A very bad day
Goes on for a while
No room for a smile
Today is your birthday
Today is your birthday
But you’re not here to celebrate it
Today is your day
your birthday
But you’re not here to celebrate it with me
Oh whohowhow on a coroner’s bed
Today is your birthday you’re pronounced dead
Today
Today
Today is your birthday
Today
Today is your birthday
Today is your birthday they found you alo who whau whau wao ne
You’d blocked up the door with all that you own
Today
Today
Today’s your birthday
Today’s your birthday
But you’re on your own
You’ll always stay hey
The age of that day
The age of that day
The age of that day
They called on the phone again and again
Decided together intervention was game
All you knew was nothing at all
Today is your birthday and that you ignore
This week we buried our sweet sweet doooog
17 sweet 17 120 years for a dog
We were all around her when she grew cold
We dug her a grave in the hills like old
Under the trees in nature she lies
A grave fit for kings that I won’t deny
In dire contrast you died on your own
And we don’t know why
We won’t ever know
