lyrics

All I ever wanted to be…
All I ever wanted to be…

If I was your handkerchief
I´d be with you day and night.
I´d be made of a fine cloth with a pattern
to match your favourite suit,
you´d keep me in your chest pocket
close to your heart
or in your trouser pocket,
next to all the places
I´m especially fond of.

If I was your handkerchief
I´d be with you day and night
and you´d always have some spare time
for you and me to be alone.
I´d wipe the tears no-one sees,
I´d wipe your nose when it bleeds
and when you´d catch a flu
there´s nothing I wouldn´t do.

All I ever wanted to be was your handkerchief,
all I ever wanted to be was your handkerchief.

All I ever wanted baby!
It´s all I ever wanted baby!

If I was your handkerchief baby
I´d be with you day and night
but I´m such an old-fashioned item
I should have known
that you´d never own one.
Now it´s my time to be used
the way I have used some people in the past,
I got to know at last how it feels.

All I ever was for you was a kleenex,
all I ever was for you was a kleenex,
you rolled me in a filthy ball just like a kleenex
and then straight to the dustbin just like a kleenex.

Still I rubbed the best parts of you baby,
still i rubbed the best parts of you baby,

still I cleaned the mess from you baby
and it was good , wasn´t it, while it lasted, baby?
It´s all I ever was for you, a kleenex,
it´s all I ever was for you, just a kleenex.

about

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
