The tongue I bit,
The pain I caused,
One eye almost watered,
But it's all forgotten now.
I never believed in weddings,
And funerals we can do without,
So that we may leave the way we like
To the seaside for one more week.
Pennyless all the time
Only giving our best on the dance floor,
Then falling asleep overturned
With no clothes on.
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are songs really about I don't know.
How tall you are, I never realised
You've always been beautiful to me
And the shoes you forgot
I use them to dance.
There's a weird atmosphere when I go to the bar
It looks like a gathering of superheroes
Retired superheroes
Full of memories at twenty.
I would like to live with others
But I'm only good at staying on my own
And the parents who divorced
I still hate them a lot.
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are songs really about I don't know.
About the party that started
About the shoes I lack
About desires and joys
About the dancer I'm going to be.
About death looking at me
About the antidote I have
About how we will save the world
Or at least our own.
About money, about my dog,
About love I will learn to make,
About war, the real one,
About earth from the moon.
About the pleasure I felt
From staying with you today,
In the bed, over the bed,
Without a future.
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are they really about?
What are songs really about?
What are songs really about I don't know.
