3rd track from the 2016 Dead Men's Clothes EP

lyrics

Oh dear Rosemarie,
Took my heart left nothing for me,
No grave in England could look sweeter than yours,
Oh dear Rosemarie,
Set adrift in perilous seas,
Like a ship left to drift from the shore

Now here in the dawn,
washed out haggard and drawn,
Being alone has it’s price,
(Your sole good piece of advice)

Oh dear Rosemarie,
a photograph by the sea,
That says that you and I will never be,
Oh dear Rosemarie,
the one you’ll never see,
Is etched upon the screen of my memory
Now here in the dawn,
with a hard disk full of porn,
I know that you’d want to be missed,
It’s the only way you could exist

Oh dear Rosemarie,
a hole where your heart should have been,
And friends just a thing for you to collect,
Oh dear Rosemarie,
paragon of vanity,
And nothing less than I have come to expect,
Now here in the dawn,
wishing you’d never been born,
I know that you’d want to be missed,
It’s the only way you could exist
