If Only '88

Forgive me this idle repetition

But I'm not stirred by this competition

Too soft to be unmoved

But enough is enough

I have the power to do whatever I choose

Anything on offer is forbidden

Oh, I disgust myself, I'm too all-forgiving

What's enjoyment? What is perfection?

Well, you lose sight of yourself

Your failing powers of recollection

Tomorrow's just one day away

And I said the same thing yesterday

Together, whatever, however, forever

Done up already, dance

Why is it essential to be calm, collected?

You all have crosses to bear

But do you all have to be resurrected?

Yes, I'm sure and I try to believe

Still I want, still I want

StillI want more than you would give to me

Oh, but tomorrow's just one day away

And I said the same thing yesterday

Together, whatever, however, forever

Tomorrow's just one day away

And I said the same thing yesterday

Together, whatever, however, forever

Together, whatever, however, forever

Forever, ever, ever, and ever

Oh, forever

Forever

And ever
