Unrequited Love Is The Saddest Thing
Of all the tears shed by the human race
After just one taste, you’ll have to face
Unrequited love is the saddest thing
Slings and arrows, sticks and stones
Will break your bones, by you should know
Unrequited love is the saddest thing
When you see a broken woman or man
There’s only one thing left to understand
Unrequited love is the saddest thing
When you want something you’re never going to get
You’re never going to get
You’re never ever going to get
When you want something you’re never going to touch
You’re never going to touch
You’re never ever going to touch … it hurts so much
Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Bronte knew
Charles Dickens too, it’s deja vu
Unrequited love is the saddest thing
Margaret Mitchell, George Elliot, Victor Hugo can’t forget
Quasimodo was a wreck
Unrequited love is the saddest thing
When you want something you’re never going to get
You’re never going to get
You’re never ever going to get
When you want something you’re never going to touch
You’re never going to touch
You’re never ever going to touch … it hurts so much
Oh, Peppermint Patty loved Charlie Brown
But Charlie Brown was a round headed clown
Unrequited love is the saddest thing
Roxanne never gave away a rose to Cyrano
He had a great big nose
Unrequited love is the saddest thing

My Baby Loves Melancholy Things
My baby digs
the cold dead winter
There’s something strange
Lurking within her
My baby loves
Edward Gorey
A twinkle in the eye
With your sad, sad story
My baby cries
To Rick Gervais
With tears coming down
Can’t hold a straight face
My baby don’t
settle for bums
She got married
To Hank Williams
My Baby plays on my heartstrings
And my baby loves metaphorical things
My baby loves to hear the whippoorwill sing
And my baby loves melancholy things
My baby digs art
Not for everyone
She likes it cool and blue
Wes Anderson
My baby ain’t
She ain’t no faker
She got married
To Chet Baker
My baby loves when you lose your wings
And my baby loves ephemeral things
My baby loves when Lou Reed sings
And my baby loves melancholy things
And nothing lasts
And nothing is perfect
And nothing is finished … ever, ever, EVER!
My baby loves melancholy things

Carrying The Weight Of The World
We’re all plugged in to every little sin
And you can’t feel normal in your skin
And you can’t tell the truth from the spin
And you don’t even know where to begin
When you’re carrying the weight of the world
And some freak is asking for empathy
For people who live across the sea
But your is heart is deaf to their pleas
Cause you can’t feel anything above your knees
When you’re carrying the weight of the world
Well is it any wonder that you’re high as Johnny Thunders
And your world is torn asunder
And you don’t know what to do
Is it worth debating that we’re all self medicating
Yeah we’re all self medicating
Just to o blow away the blues
When you’re carrying the weight of the world
And things don’t get better, it just gets worse
Until you feel the whole human race is cursed
But you can’t shed a tear to quench their thirst
Cause you’re scared your whole bleeding heart would burst
When you’re carrying the weight of the world
Well is it any wonder that you’re high as Johnny Thunders
And your world is torn asunder
And you don’t know what to do
Is it worth debating that we’re all self medicating
Yeah we’re all self medicating
Just to blow away the blues
When you’re carrying the weight of the world
And all you can do — is sing the blues

The Wabi Sabis London, Ontario
The Wabi Sabis are a finely honed machine with an all-too-human heart. They have taken a two-hundred years of musical experience and created a tsunami of sound that melds chaos and order while tickling the listeners grey matter with lyrical explorations of heartbreak, loss, confusion, jealousy, failure, love and the pure joy of the transformational transcendence of blistering rock & roll. ... more
