The Never-Ending Why of my Ashtray Heart

Shila and I were going to do our usual penniless fan thing by having a picnic outside Fort Canning while listening to the band. We were going to do it tonight for Placebo.

But I have just received news that Shaun's DJ friend has gotten us 4 free tickets and now we can go! Yay! When good things keep happening to me it makes me nervous; what will eventually be expected from me in return? Karma and all that.

Cast your mind back to the days
When I pretend I was OK
I had so very much to say
About my crazy living
Now that I've stared into the void
So many people I've annoyed
I have to find a middle way
A better way of giving

No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts
Is a heart that works

So I haven't given up
But all my choices, my good luck
Appear to go and get me stuck
In an open prison
Now I am trying to break free
In a state of empathy
Find the true and inner me
Eradicate this schism

No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts
Is a heart that works
