The Sulking Poet - Piano Version
Love is everything you said it was
Love is rain upon the roof at night
I'm just trying to write some words
Through the bars of a rhyme, this time
Thinking back to when I was a child
I was trying to become someone
I can still remember road signs
Let's have a toast to the sulking boy
God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
Sing ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Now the child is a young man
Every day is like a rolling storm
And he's playing in a covers band
Does a Sunday in a clothing store
Won't you stay until sunrise?
You could maybe help find my voice
Tell me everything is alright
We'll sing a song for the sulking boy
God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
Sing ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
The devil's in the detail
Life is the ship we sail
The devil's in the detail
Life is the ship we sail
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Love is everything you said it was
Love is rain upon the roof at night
I'm just trying to write some words
Through the bars of a rhyme, this time
Thinking back to when I was a child
I was trying to become someone
I can still remember road signs
Let's have a toast to the sulking boy
God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
Sing ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Love is rain upon the roof at night
I'm just trying to write some words
Through the bars of a rhyme, this time
Thinking back to when I was a child
I was trying to become someone
I can still remember road signs
Let's have a toast to the sulking boy
God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
Sing ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Now the child is a young man
Every day is like a rolling storm
And he's playing in a covers band
Does a Sunday in a clothing store
Won't you stay until sunrise?
You could maybe help find my voice

God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
Sing ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
The devil's in the detail
Life is the ship we sail
The devil's in the detail
Life is the ship we sail
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet

Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, Juliet
