The long​-​lasting lovers

lyrics

Sometimes I can hardly stand you,
sometimes you'd gladly kill me,
I guess that's the prize we have to pay for being so close.
The way we met was vulgar or magic,
I guess it depends in each one's point of view.
One thing I know is that since that very night
we've never being apart for too long.

Sometimes we get tired, sometimes we get mad
I need more freedom and you need a better man
but in the end of the days we sleep like brothers
and the bed that we lay upon is sacred.

´Cause in a world that's so modern and fast
I'm so glad I found an old-fashioned man
who wants me to to meet his parents
and wants to live with me in a penthouse c
loser to heaven.

I had a terrible dream last night.
our love was the flame of a candle,
a tiny torch in the darkness
it could be put out by the slightest breeze.
I set a fire with it, that way it could not be put out
but the fire grew out of control so we got trapped in flames-
Last thing I saw were your terrified, questioning eyes
"I did not mean to betray us" I said
" I just couldn't watch us fading away so I'd rather die with you,
I 'd rather die with you in flames!"

I woke up with you kissing my face,
you'd never seen me crying so I guess you got worried
"What's the matter baby?" you asked me in your husky voice.
"I don't know...I don't know..."

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
