When I was young and knew everything...
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice.
Now I’m guilt stricken,
Sobbing with my head on the floor;
stop a baby’s breath and a shoe full of rice.
I can’t be held responsible...
Cause she was touching her face...
I won’t be held responsible.
She fell in love in the first place.
For the life of me I cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and
we’d never comprimise.
For the life of me, I cannot believe
we’d ever die for these sins.
We were merely freshman.
My best friend took a week’s
vacation to forget her.
His girl took a week’s worth of
Valium and slept.
Now he’s guilt stricken sobbing with his
head on the floor...
thinks about her now and how he never really
wept, he says.
I can’t be held responsible...
Cause she was touching her face...
I won’t be held responsible.
She fell in love in the first place.
For the life of me I cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and
we’d never comprimise.
For the life of me, I cannot believe
we’d ever die for these sins.
We were merely freshman.
We’ve tried to wash our hands of all of this.
We never talk of our lacking relationships.
And how we’re guilt stricken sobbing with our
heads on the floor...
we fell through the ice when we tried not to
slip, we’d say:
I can’t be held responsible...
Cause she was touching her face...
I won’t be held responsible.
She fell in love in the first place.
For the life of me I cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and
we’d never comprimise.
For the life of me, I cannot believe
we’d ever die for these sins.
We were merely freshman. |

...which is too bad because they had scads of better songs such as Photograph, Villains, Veneer, Penny is Poison and others. The Verve Pipe was definitely one of my favorite bands from my adolescent years, but their lack of commercial success made many forget about them and how good they were... |

umm, kinda skipped over the lyrics cos they sucked.
but, Valium's drug name is diazepam, which belongs to the benzodiazepine family of drugs. Now, you can take as many of these as you want, and all you do is sleep and wake up the next day with a bit of a headache. Now, cos I didn't pay attention to the lyrics, it seemed to me they implied she committed suicide by taking the drugs. Which is wrong, it can't happen, thats why Diazepam is used so much nowadays, cos it is safe in overdose.:rolleyes:
If you're gonna make a song, at least make it right!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: |
