lyrics

(would not sing them)

She knew every one of them and she never sang a bar
Not at a wedding, not at home, not once when she was drunk
And I thought it was modesty or that she had forgotten
And she had not forgotten anything at all

She would not sing them (would not)
Not one, would not
Sixty years, would not
Would not

Would not sing them, sing them, would not sing them
These are the songs of people who have lost everything
Would not sing them, sing them, would not sing them
And she had lost everything, which is exactly why

I sing them because I have lost nothing. That is the difference.
I can put a drum machine under it and call it a project.
She could not go near it. It was not music to her. It was the year.
(MACHINE RETURNS)

Would not sing them, sing them, would not sing them
These are the songs of people who have lost everything
Would not sing them, sing them, would not sing them
And she had lost everything, which is exactly why

(the year...)
