On Monday I took a flower |
|
Dried it in my hand |
|
Covered it in poison |
|
And I threw it on the land |
|
On wasted ground it tried to root |
|
But choked upon the sand |
|
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
And there's room in my diary for you |
|
On Tuesday I took a bird |
|
Such pain to hear it sing |
|
I blackened it with petrol |
|
And oiled its little wings |
|
I tainted the breeze |
|
As I threw it to the wind |
|
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
And there's room in my diary for you |
|
On Wednesday I took a man |
|
He begged please help me die |
|
For he lay in pain and suffering |
|
It made his loved ones cry |
|
I can be terrible and gentle |
|
In the blinking of an eye |
|
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
And there's room in my diary for you |
|
On Thursday I took a woman |
|
Heavy with a child |
|
My old friend Rape had paid a visit |
|
Had stayed a little while |
|
In a back street I touched her |
|
With a wire and a smile |
|
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
And there's room in my diary for you |
|
On Friday I took a city |
|
Cursed it with a plague |
|
Powdered crystals, smoking pipes |
|
To crush and to enslave |
|
And a row of dirty needles |
|
Lines the route onto the grave |
|
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
And there's room in my diary for you |
|
On Saturday I took a country |
|
Praying for the rain |
|
Parched throats and swollen lips |
|
Without a harvest grain |
|
And I wiped out generations |
|
And I'd do it all again |
|
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
And there's room in my diary for you |
|
On Sunday I took the world |
|
A bomb I did employ |
|
Seven days to create life |
|
And one day to destroy |
|
Every woman every man |
|
Every girl and boy |
|
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
And there's room in my diary for you |
|
Now as I close my diary |
|
And I've made my final date |
|
I blow away the ashes |
|
And I stoke the smoking grate |
|
I've no distinction between pain and joy |
|
No line twixt love and hate |
|
There's no room in my diary for you, my friend |
|
There's no room in my diary for you |
