lyrics

Room with a View

“Dear neighbours and so-called friends
The time has passed to make amends, it's too late
So this is my fate”
Her voice breaking the morning still
Francis spreads her arms and feels a sudden thrill
As she sways on the sill
Then there’s a silence, Irving drops his can of oil Cramped under his Ford
He’s heard it before
But in a second there’s a thump, then there’s a slam, now there’s a scream
He’s totally bored
Yeah he knows the score
And with a loud snarl…. he hauls himself up on all fours

A room with a view can make you miss
Back when your ignorance was bliss
But now it’s too late
Turned all your love to hate
A room with a view can blow a kiss
Unveiling the truth you might have missed
In someone’s back seat
Life is a constant beat, put on repeat

”You come around but won’t stay for more
You treat me like I’m some kind of whore to you
That’s what you do!”

Kimberly can’t take Harry no more
She kicks at a chair, and slams his door, then stops Her jaw slowly drops

When for a moment the dazzling Sunday morning sun is blocked out of sight
A body in flight
And in a second… Kimberly lets out a scream

Before you know it life will head another way
Before you know it life will turn and go astray

A room with a view can make you miss
The time when your ignorance was bliss
But now it’s too late
Turned all your love to hate

A room with a view made Francis pissed
Eventually she could not resist
A drama cliché
And now they would have to pay for their betrayal
She tried to fly, from all the lies, and now she’s gone Rest in peace
