Lyrics
Introduction
Verse - Male
Shove this boy into the river
Maybe that'll make him grow
Hardly noticed he was different
At least not 'til it started to snow
Verse - Female
Why is he always pretending
That I'm meaner than I am
Everyone told me that he loves me
But is that all I am?
Chorus - Female
What's the use in putting flowers on the grave
What's the use in wearing all my mourning lace
What's the use in singing ballads of the heart
Chorus - Male
What's the use if I knew it from the start
That it won't change
Beat switch
It won’t change
It won’t change
Some things n-never change
Other things do change
Then it feels strange
And you wish it would go another way-ay-ay-ay
Record skipping
Verse - Male
What's the worst thing that could happen?
How do I make sure that it does
Some days I wonder if I'm nothing
And some days I wish I was
Verse - Female
When the water came in
Grayer than the skies
Everybody sees you different
But I see you alive
Chorus - Male
What's the use in putting flowers on the grave
What's the use in wearing all my mourning lace
What's the use in singing ballads of the heart
What's the use if I knew it from the start
What's the use in putting flowers on the grave
What's the use in wearing all my mourning lace
What's the use in singing ballads of the heart
What's the use if I knew it from the start
That it won't change
That it won't change
No it won't change
Some things never ever change
