[00:36.39]I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip, [00:39.70]I said, [00:40.33]"You've taken the diet too far, [00:42.41]You have got to let it slip". [00:43.88]But she's not eating again, [00:45.93]She's not eating, [00:47.85]She's not eating again, [00:49.96]She's not eating again. [00:52.38]I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate, [00:56.42]I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant, [00:59.63] [01:00.21]She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single word she said, [01:05.89]Believe a word she said. [01:08.07] [01:12.44]At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation, [01:16.31]From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic. [01:19.91]She spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions, [01:24.33]In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors. [01:29.00]She said one day to leave her, [01:31.31]Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide to drag her to the ocean, [01:39.18]To another sea's shore. [01:41.46]This thing hurts like hell, [01:44.83] [01:47.05]But what did you expect? [01:48.72] [01:50.97]And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart [01:56.04] [01:56.99]And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood coarse. [02:03.19] [02:05.20]But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me. [02:13.02]Five hundred behind. [02:15.15] [02:15.79]A thousand years in perfect symmetry. [02:19.95] [02:36.18]Best known left wrist right finger, [02:38.18]Through all the Southern States, [02:39.96]On every video games machine they call her triple A. [02:44.14]There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking, [02:48.30]The chat show he host, [02:49.59]He joked "you have to wait for the government program". [02:52.48]You talk about your politics, [02:54.33]And I wonder if you could be one of them, [02:56.47]But you could never kiss a Tory boy [02:58.18]Without wanting to cut off your tongue again. [03:00.21]A good place to look to the future is [03:02.57]When you are sat at the sea, [03:04.01]With the salt up to your ankles [03:06.12]And a view of the end of the pier. [03:07.99]You may look down at your model's feet [03:10.22]And wish that you'd just float away, [03:11.92]And the weather here is overcast [03:14.20]And the sea is the same shade of grey, [03:15.95]So the landscape before [03:17.77]You looks just like the edge of the world, [03:19.86]But to the left side and the right side, [03:22.30]Either way is a crazy golf course. [03:24.86]The sea is a good place to think of the future. [03:32.64] [03:35.42]And all you can hear is [03:38.31]The sound of your own heart [03:41.33]And all you can feel is your lungs flood [03:45.99]And the blood coarse. [03:47.77] [03:49.50]But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me. [03:56.68] [03:57.26]Five hundred behind. [03:59.63] [04:00.33]A thousand years in perfect symmetry. [04:04.61]A thousand years: no getting rid of me. [04:08.59]A thousand years in perfect symmetry.
