lyrics

Walk through the stacks
Bow your wee head
Don't turn your back
The rotten past is dead
My life is good
But ours would be better
If you'd be willing
To stop by and borrow my sweaters

[Chorus]: A life of
Misfortune
Constant bad luck
For these two
Medals
I'll become a monk

We got moving quickly
No room for complaints
I tried to save thee
No need for a saint
I know life is torture
I tried to pull you through
Exchange it for a letter
Edited just for you

Public scenes
I can't mind
All I ever wanted to do
Now we do it all the time
I couldn't have found a ruby
Quite as shiny as you
I love love love you dearly
I have all the time to prove it

[Chorus]
I'll become a monk
