From the album ‘Bambi‘ (2013).
Lyrics
They say that time moves fast
And life is short, but art is long
And so to make it last
I’ll put my love
Into a song
And if it wasn’t for Elise
I don’t know where I would be
They say, they say, they say
That he who hesitates is lost
Well so am I
The only thing that lasts
Is art, our bloody bodies
Bloody die
And if it wasn’t for Elise
I don’t know where I would be
They say, they say, they say
You don’t know what you’ve got
‘Til what you’ve got is gone
I say I say that nothing’s lost
If it’s entrusted to a song
For you, my Elise
I’m composing lovely music
You and I, sad to say
Are doomed to fade and to die
You who come later
Know I was happy loving her
You who have conquered death
Bully for you!
Now fuck off!
Fuck off!
