Fly Trap Honey - The Cliches Are Adept (Live Acoustic) Lyrics

The cliché is getting old
Everyone's gone home, tired wet and cold
But not me I remain
Standing in the cold and the pouring rain
Of a thousand f*cking films, and every sad song ever sung
I'm sick and tired of waiting, but too lazy to run
I've known Romeo and I've loved his Juliet
I'm a sad song soldier, who'll never get to hold her
And once again, the clichés are adept
I've been waiting for a train
It stopped once, and it won't stop again
And yes I wanna live for ever
But I know its not smart and I know its not clever
To keep chasing dreams that everyone has had
In the moments when they thought they were alone
We've all heard the same silence on the telephone
I've known Romeo and I've loved his Juliet
I'm a sad song soldier, who'll never get to hold her
And once again, the clichés are adept
I lost myself I lost you too
And I still haven't found what I'm looking for
An image in the mirror that I can't see through
Why am I so shallow, am I just like all of you
Why can't I find the words to say something new
Coz everything's been seen, said, heard or felt
By someone else
Except the way the light falls on that tree
Well that's just mine, and its just fine, that its just mine to see
I've known Romeo and I've loved his Juliet
I'm a sad song soldier, who'll never get to hold her
And once again, the clichés are adept
I've known Romeo
I've loved his Juliet
I've known Romeo
But then again, we've all known a Romeo
