a train to rome
I ran away from home a few years too late
people laughed
but I’d had enough of my own face
I play the drums all dressed up as a banana
I’d rather do rock’n’roll or americana
he was so young at thirty-one
and he was waiting for a pay-day in the sun
a star with no shine
tumbled and died
so sad the service was attended by no one
he fell ill so he took some pills
and then saw things
they were not really there at all
but he saw things
he was so young at thirty-one
and he was waiting for a pay-day in the sun
a sun with no shine
stumbled and died
so sad the service was attended by no one
he left a void at the youth council for the arts
Eugene has passed and his boyfriend, Gab, has a broken heart
