lyrics

Misery
Every single sucker
Has their own
Recipe
Falling over each other
Just so
They can be
Harmonising
With their own
Self-harmonies
It's a cruel world
Would you have it any other way?

Misery
I'm beginning to think
Everybody's having
A better time than me
I don't feel so chic
Maybe we should tweak
Our philosophy
Can't get it out of my mind
Who the hell designed
This catastrophe?
It's a cruel world
Would you have it any other way?

Misery
You've got to admit
When you think about it
One of humanity's
All time one of a kind
Single finest discoveries
Inexaustible
One size fits all
And so catchy
It's a cruel world
Would you have it any other way?

La première fois que j'ai écouté Louis Barabbas, je me suis pris une bonne claque comme à l'époque à laquelle j'avais découvert Coco Robicheaux ; certes, dans un style un peu différent, mais l'émotion finit toujours par l'emporter... Poesy Rider
