Wish I'd Taken Pictures Lyrics - Pansy Division

Didn't think he'd splip so soon 

Thought time was on our side 

But cynical turned bitchy 

Clever turned to snide 

Iwon't miss his sullen poses 

Iwon't miss his dour veneer 

But i wish i'd taken pictures 

Cause his beautiful face ain't here 

Met up with a new guy 

With alabaster skin 

Turned out to be an alabastard 

Broke it off with him 

His features were so striking 

Long lashes, dark brown curls 

But i wish i'd taken pictures 

Cause he's long gone from my world 

Met a lovely goth boy 

Way into 4AD 

Precious, frail and sensitive 

Took himself too seriously 

Always lighting candles 

Made his bed an altar 

But i wish i´d taken pictures 

Because our thing quickly faltered 

Finally bought a camera 

After years of delay 

Thought memory would be enough 

But i found out too late 

So let's be realistic 

The odds are this won't last 

Now i'm taking pictures 

So i'll never forget your beautiful ass
