Best Lasts Forever - The View

I feel like a sun without a sky

Feel like a socket, without an eye

Feel like a house, but not a home

Just a dog without a bone

How can you wink without an eye?

Like a grievance, but with no cry

A house, not a home, and I don’t know why

Just a pig without a sty

The best lasts forever

Feel like a sail but I’ve been slashed

A vigilante that’s been unmasked

Feel like a raft, but not a ship

Sinking on this south facing tip

I know that before when you answered the door

I told you the world to leave me

The best lasts forever, together again

Have you ever felt like a story untold?

A catwalk model that’s growing old

Hard to imagine what’s more important

The rainbow, the pot or the gold

I know that before when you answered the door

I told you the world to leave me

The best lasts forever, together again

Thinking about what it is that made you change

Was it the quarks, the dosh or the dames

When did I become so deranged?

Think of the time when blood ran through your veins

When she looked as sweet as a candy cane

As she looks through the window pane

Through the window pane and the rain

I said it again and again

The best lasts forever

I know that before when you answered the door

I told you the world to leave me

I’ve been on my knees on so many streets

Not just the ones in Dundee

Feel on my face, been a legless disgrace

Ten thousand laughing at me, but still

The best last forever
