I sit on life's window,
I'm not afraid to slip off the ledge.
Don't dry the tears from my pillow,
they don't slip easy from my face.

Goodbye, brothers and sisters,
my spirit will fly in your face.
I'm not afraid if everything's over,
maybe the future's in space...

So goodbye, brothers and sisters,
don't make me do it your way.
Don't hinder me with your wisdom,
maybe the future's in vain...

In vain.
By Bernard Butler, from People Move On.



Suicide is uncharacteristically dark subject matter for Butler, but the song projects images of freedom rather than sadness... One of those tracks that makes you want to direct a film, just so you can use it in the soundtrack.
