When All Else Fails Lyrics - Skyclad

To whom it may concern (whoever that may be) 

For I can think of no-one who has shown concern for me. 

My last will and testament I now bequeath 

To all those I trusted (to those who deceived me) 

Though by hope deserted of this I am sure 

That where I am going you'll hurt me no more. 

While your plotting my downfall I'm planning my wake 

Still you're trying to see how much more I can take 

In this game that we're playing I know I can't win 

And my dreams have all ended before they begin. 

One for the wish that would never come true 

Two for the kisses betraying a fool 

Three for the life that was my bed of nails 

For there's only one answer when all else fails.

I fear I have been here too long for my own good 

Outstaying my welcome when all the time I should 

Have heeded my heart when it said take your bow 

But I'm sadder and wiser and listening now. 

In this life that you're leading you're fooling yourself 

If you think you are better than anyone else 

So shed not your tears for me now pretty child 

For when I was crying - remember, you smiled. 

The knife that I'm holding was never as sharp 

As the words from your cruel lips that punctured my heart 

Tell me where was your friendship in my hour of need 

When you stood and you laughed while watching me bleed? 

One for the wish that would never come true 

Two for the kisses betraying a fool 

Three for the life that was my bed of nails 

For there's only one answer when all else fails.

Don't talk to me of loneliness - don't speak to me of tears 

For I have had enough of both to last a thousand years 

"If music be the food of love" then let a famine rage 

To starve my childish innocence before it comes of age. 

One for the wish that would never come true 

Two for the kisses betraying a fool 

Three for the life that was my bed of nails 

For there's only one answer when all else fails. 

I beg you forgive me - I apologise 

For wasting your time with such lengthy goodbyes 

But as I depart - unto destiny kneel 

I pray that one day you will know how I feel. 

Goodbye.
