golden turd award for the Jesus toilet patrol. STOP Following Me. Faggot

rock

The song with the same name as the album  emulates the idea of pouring your heart into something that ultimately is redundant. The song is the lament of a guy who lavishes attention on his lover but gets nothing back from her. 

White Elephant

I bought you a big diamond ring but you don’t wear it anymore
I gave you a black party dress but you returned it to the store
Is it a sign of your guilt your  love’s begun to pale
And will this house of pleasure we built soon be up for sale, oh oh oh oh
Now you’re not even listening, you seem so far away

I call your name, still waiting for an answer
I’ve never felt so irrelevant                                            
You’re not the same, it’s the end for this romance, yeah
My love’s become a white elephant, a white elephant

You ignore me all the time when we’re out in company
I can’t get a word in edgeways cause you talk all over me
I think you wanted all the drama of some big love affair 
An illusion where we lived but there was no one ever there    
Now you’re not even listening, you seem so far away

I call your name, still waiting for an answer
I’ve never felt so irrelevant                                            
You’re not the same, it’s the end for this romance, yeah
My love’s become a white elephant, a white elephant


I get nothing 
From your lavish habits
My largesse has cost me dear               
But I’ve seen my chance 
And I’m going to grab it                             
You won’t even know I’m out of here
                       
You call my name, still waiting for my answer
You’ve never felt so irrelevant                                                      
You’re to blame, for the end of this romance, yeah
Your love’s become a white elephant, a white elephant
