I was lonely, I was lost and I was falling in disgrace
I was learning and returning with a smile upon my face
I ran down the winding road and fell wondering on my feet
I tempt fate and won and I can say I had all that I need

When I'm done and when I sleep
I want your love to stay with me
My little wish, my little hope
For when I’m cold, so cold
I'll keep your voice forever here
You're in my head and heart, my dear
A pile of slag, a melody 
That’s what I'll be
C'est la vie

I was weight down with sorrow 'til I found the last resort
And my soul is full scars from all the battles that I fought
I broke down a thousand times on this battlefield of life
I tempt fate and won and I can say I did it all right

When I'm done and when I sleep
I want your love to stay with me
My little wish, my little hope
For when I’m cold, so cold
I'll keep your voice forever here
You're in my head and heart, my dear
A pile of slag, a melody 
That’s what I'll be
C'est la vie

Save your speeches save your tears
Save your votes and prick your ears
All you leaguers come along
On the day I’m dead and gone

When I'm done and when I sleep
I want your love to stay with me
My little wish, my little hope
For when I’m cold
I'll keep your voice forever here
You're in my head and heart, my dear
A pile of slag, a melody 
That’s what I'll be
C'est la vie

C'est la vie...
