Bored of Memory

Oh my love*
 Oh my one and only light of hope that turns to me
 I never dreamed you would die so far away
 All the history, all the wars
 The ever distant dangers frightening us
 All return to us, the bold forgetful senders
 And that's all, and that's all I need
 Bored of memory the man said
 Let me trade the future for a war nobody understands
 And that's all I need
 Bored of memory the book said
 Leave me to my T.V., I am history, never been read
 If I'm your lover, if I'm your friend
 If I'm the protest laying down for you
 All you have to do is lay yourself beside me
 If I'm the Roman, if I'm the fighter
 If I'm the puppet dangling here for you
 All you have to do is put your hand inside me
 And that's all, and that's all I need
 Bored of memory the man said
 Let me trade the future for a war nobody understands
 And that's all I need
 Bored of memory the book said
 Leave me to my T.V., I am history, never been read
 And that's all I need
 Bored of memory the queen
 Ordered up the moat bridge, never been kissed
 Never been seen
 And that's all I need
 Bored of memory the book said
 Leave me to my T.V., I am history, never been read
 You can leave me to my T.V., I am history
 Never been read
 You can leave me to my T.V.
 I am history
 Never been read
