This is slow music
This is white jazz
This is a love you will never be sure of
This is slow music
This is white jazz
and fate can rage like some wane on a riptide

Some will age
Some will die
But you and I
Well, We'll survive it all
We'll lie above it all, my love
 

This is slow music
This is white jazz
This is a love you will never be sure of
This is slow music
This is white jazz
And fate can rage forever and a day although

Some will age
Some will die
But you and I
Well, We'll survive it all
Yes, we're above it all
My love...
 
 
 
 

The ballad of misery and heaven
begins in a moment
and knows no ending
The ballad of misery and heaven
starts with a kiss
and ends in forever

This is a dirty jewel of a town
Where I can meet you drunk
in the underground
The sadness has gone
but in time
it will call around

The ballad of misery and heaven...

See, some dreams never come true
but I'll forget
when I'm with you
the heart was broken
this spirit too
How could I give up ?
When every kiss
recalls something new
 
 
 
 
 

I am pissing in the dusk
thinks: "This is the year I get that new coat"
but before I zip up
There's something you should know
I know at times it's been hard
and especially for you
There's been strange times and
even stranger things I've put you through
But I'm aware you've never let me down
Well, one or twice when we were
on our own...
I guess what I'm trying to say
Is that you're ok
Let's start from here.
If you plotted with my hands against me
It's cos I held you down
as an enemy
but you and I
we're not like them
though we're together in the truest sense
as deeps as but different to other men
(It's true...It's me and you...)
So as I hold you now
beneath this summer dusk sky
I sing this to forgive
and to accept you
you and your beautiful
blonde eye.
