about

This one really ISN’T about me. Even some priests from the middle Ages have had more female conquests than me, I guess, and I dislike flying very strongly. So this is an invented character but he sure does seem to have some complicated stuff going on.

lyrics

Heathrow

Well I used to be some Heathcliff
Now I’m here in Heathrow, waiting for a plane
Well I used to say I’m sorry ; never meant it, don’t you worry
May have caused some pain
Oh well ; alone again—

CHa - Oh the photographs we keep are just a lie
And Solitude, our king, we must abide
We must abide.

Well I used to be a hot shot
Now I’m Delta Tango Foxtrot
Running from myself
Don’t bother, this is useless ; but it’s all those fake excuses
We make up for ourselves
That fuel this empty shell—

CHb - And the photographs we keep are just a lie
We won’t hold on to a thing until the day we die
The day we die

Bridge : Through tainted glass, even the sun is blue
And I don’t know, I don’t know
What to do…

Well I used to be some Heathcliff
Now I’m here in Heathrow, got delayed again
I used to be so restless ; now I’m lost and rather clueless
Kinda self-detained
Guess I’m alone again

CHc - Oh the photographs we keep are just a lie
And Solitude, our king, we must abide
Oh the loneliness inside may well survive
Another crash, another bombing, another flight
Another life.

Another life
Another lie
Another lie.
