Garbage April Tenth Lyrics

April Tenth Lyrics

It was April the tenth
I remember it well
It was so cold that year
It
was colder than hell

Things haven't been good 
For you, for a while

Because I'd been on tour
I hadn't heard

And you've dropped
in
With the letter you wrote
And I read it aloud
To prove that I
could

And we were both laughing
Cause we know how you are
We never
thought
Your quitting was good

We thought that we knew you 
And I
guess that we don't
Are you heavenly or
just like the past?

We
called you "the black penny"
Remember that?

The sea is
wide
The streets are long
And there's blood on all our hands
With the
catalyst gone

And only what's left to us 
Is history built on
dust
I was sweating on poet's words
Great nations and
governments

Sweet lies and victories
Eager and keen to
please
those good keys are everywhere
with their thousand-yard
stare

We all end up the same
Like little lambs to meet their end
