Horrorshow Lyrics

Reuben Horrorshow

The rope round my neck
The streak in my hair
The spring in my step
From the socks that I wear

And when I play this song,
It's like I'm still there
And you don't know what it means to me

Cos I try my best to be the best that I can
I want so much to be everybody's friend

Well if it's supposed to hurt
It hasn't done yet
The best of the few
That haven't been met

And the simplest thing could remind me of that
That soft-spoken lie
I'll never forget

Sing!

I try my best to be the best that I can
I want so much to be everybody's friend
Oh yeah, I try my best to be the best that I can
I try so hard to be everybody's friend

And I try
Yes I try

I want so much to be
It's in my heart to be
I try so hard to be
It's in my heart

I try my best
I try my best
And no, I don't sleep
I never rest

My aching heart
Is emptiest
When I'm alone

The way that I think,
It seldom makes sense
The words don't come out
The way they were meant
So if I'm quiet
Please don't take offence

Cause you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me
No,
No,
No,
No...
