Real Tears for Sale

Such a pretty girl - the anger didn't hide it.. dit it?
You shaved your head, pulled a face
Dressed yourself up without grace
It didn't hide a lifetime's damage
It didn't hide a lifetime's fears

Against your better judgements
'Put your whole self up for sale
The horrow show when you were young
We couldn't wait to hear about it

But even whores don't kiss with tongues
Nonetheless I do believe you cried real tears

Real tears for sale!

The wrong side of a lifetime's drinking
Is where it seems I'm coming from
I took my demons by the hand
Bent them, twisted them until they scanned and rhymed
And I took your love and all the hurt inside
Laid it out on the market stall
Agony at a knock-down price
"Reduced to clear!" is what I cried

The wrong side of a lifetime's wishful thinking
Drove me here to pills and ale
Come and listen, come and listen to my tale

Come and get it. Come and get it.

Real tears for sale

All the hurt, All the secrets, All the damage, All the shame,
All the dirty cuts and bruises, All the rage, All the rage
All the rage.
Boo hoo.

  • great work! love this song

  • well thank you :) but nothing extraordinary - just a collection of pictures, put together in a low quality video! all plaudit to this great band :)

  • ...sehr gefühlvolles Video.

  • vielen dank :)

    i tried to connect the lyrics with scenes and pictures from the media that came to my mind while listening to the song.

  • yeah... you 'tried' to connect... monkey, cross and cars - perfect fit.

  • the tequila-cross fading is a reference to a case in germany where an underage boy died in consequence of binge drinking some years ago (there was broad media coverage back then). the man beside the car is a definite reference to alkocolism (watch it again in case you didn't get it). the monkey symbolizes the scientific approach to substance abuse and addiction. like i've said before, just a collection of themes with a subjective association to this song.
