"Billy Elliot" lyrics

The saddest thing I ever did hear
Lives in the heart of a dead man's ears
He was my bestest friend

The saddest thing I ever did hear
Drives in the car on my way to school
Monday mornings when I had the blues
Mother says the birds are coming out for you
They all appear for you
Wanna be close to you

The saddest thing I ever did hear
Sings like a chorus in my teenage years
Flickers like the chance that disappeared
Dancing me to sleep in the earliest nights of my years

Used to be the Carpenters
Now it doesn't even hurt
Nothing compares to you
But my fingers on the trigger
And I hope she'll be happier
I'm thinking of the river

Hurts in the way you are
Gets lost in the crowd
It's a drop in the lonely ocean
A conversation in another round
You speak but you're barely met with
The place that you've been dreaming bout

Used to be the Carpenters
Now it doesn't even hurt
Nothing compares to you
Till somebody compared to you
I used to be close to you
Or somebody that I once knew
There are worst things I could do then
To fall in love with you
Ahh the drugs don't work
They just make me lost
The music's wrong
I no longer hear the words
So I got down on my knees
And I stopped into the church

AH
My fingers on the trigger
I'm thinking of the trigger
No longer here, the trigger
I miss rock and roll there's too many...
