Didn't think he'd splip so soon   Thought time was on our side   But cynical turned bitchy   Clever turned to snide   Iwon't miss his sullen poses   Iwon't miss his dour veneer   But i wish i'd taken pictures   Cause his beautiful face ain't here   Met up with a new guy   With alabaster skin   Turned out to be an alabastard   Broke it off with him   His features were so striking   Long lashes, dark brown curls   But i wish i'd taken pictures   Cause he's long gone from my world   Met a lovely goth boy   Way into 4AD   Precious, frail and sensitive   Took himself too seriously   Always lighting candles   Made his bed an altar   But i wish i´d taken pictures   Because our thing quickly faltered   Finally bought a camera   After years of delay   Thought memory would be enough   But i found out too late   So let's be realistic   The odds are this won't last   Now i'm taking pictures   So i'll never forget your beautiful ass
