lirik lagu skyclad – deja-vu ain’t what it used to be
have you heard the one ’bout
when a most unlucky fella’
went visiting a fairground
for to see a fortune teller?
she said: “of all the palms i’ve read
yours is by far the worst
i’m duty-bound to tell you
you’ve been well-and-truly cursed”
ill-fated was my selfless quest
blind faith a grave mistake
i’d strived to do my very best
to serve a dream quite fake
just one more hapless sacrifice
spilt tears in full-flood
ingenuous i’ve paid their price
not all vampires suck blood
gazed into a crystal ball and watched its surface crack
when i cut the tarot deck, death laid there grinning back
i’ve been here many times before, again the joke’s on me
i know the score but deja-vu ain’t what it used to be
-o well for him that lives at ease
with garnered gold in wide domain
nor heeds the splashing of the rain
the crashing down of forest trees
-o well for him who ne’er hath known
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
the travail of the hungry years
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
a father grey with grief and tears
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
a mother weeping all alone
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
to tread an unshared path alone
was my lot from the start
so seldom fleeting solace known
by this rent, careworn heart
watch the stand-up tragedy
famous for fifteen minutes
i glimpsed my future and decree
saw dearth of purpose in it
gazed into a crystal ball and watched its surface crack
when i cut the tarot deck, death laid there grinning back
i’ve been here many times before, again the joke’s on me
i know the score but deja-vu ain’t what it used to be
-but well for him whose foot hath trod
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
the weary road of toil and strife
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
yet from the sorrows of his life
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
builds ladders to be nearer god
(deja-vu ain’t what it used to be)
