ach, und ich liebe the divine comedy. heute ist der totale the-divine-comedy-tag. ich werde heute ausschließlich the divine comedy hören.

postcards and letters/t-shirts and sweaters/passports and parkas
mobiles and chargers/two tennis rackets/blue rizla packets
a new sheep-skin jacket/i lost it all
all through my life there have been/many rare and precious things
i have tried to call mine/but I just cannot seem/to keep hold of anything/for more than a short time/possessions of a sentimental kind/they were mine, now they're not
gym-kits and trainers/asthma inhalers/silk-cuts and bennies
ten-packs and twenties/c-class narcotics/antibiotics/the holes in my pockets/i lost it all
all that I'd like is to know/just where do those lost things go?
when they slip from my hands/then one night in a dream
i passed through a sheepskin screen/to a green, pleasant land
i found them all piled up into the sky/and I cried tears of joy
