Eddie Cooney - Ugly Beauty

I Walk the world almost every day
To avoid the TV
Don't want to listen so I have a drink
Alcohol melancholy

I see the world through a blistered eye
An image distorted
I should accept love with open arms
I've only ever fought it

Chorus
There's beauty in a heart
There's beauty in the sky and sea
There's ugly in the life we lead
And ugly creeps inside of me

I like a coffee but it's bad for me
It gives me ulcers and tension
I like cakes and chocolate, I like butter and beer
My body gives me a lecture

I think I'll stay in bed today
The forecast is for shitty weather
I'll read a book if I can find the nerve
But I'm at the end of my tether

I heard the news and it made me sad
But who loves a neighbour?
I'll stay in bed until the sun comes out
To do me a favour

A song from the beginning of the slide into depression; from the moment when the crushing weight of the superficial world and all its influence begins to obscure the personality.
