The Divine Comedy Snowball in Negative歌词


Smoking my six-hundredth last cigarette
Out of the studio sky-light
Watching the ash as it rolls down the roof
Leaving a trail of grey-white

All through its short life it gives of itself
Giving and giving and slowly diminishing
Until there isn't a crumb of it left
It no longer is, it's a snowball in negative

Wandering home along Marlborough Road
I realize in amazement
That I have been, for how long I don't know,
Avoiding the cracks in the pavement

All through this short life we give of ourselves
Giving and giving and slowly diminishing
Leaving a mark that will gradually fade
Ash in the breeze, snowballs in negative

When the beautiful set sail back in 1970 She was state of the art, the flagship of our navy. But the salt sea took its toll and the rust began to show, And with a heavy heart we took her to the breaker's yard. I thought I heard her call, maybe I hear
