An alternative, recomposed version of Belinda’s poignant song we recorded for Silent June in 2010

lyrics

Look at the heaven we have made
And the hell for someone else
Look at the baubles shining bright
Glass dangling like our lives
Look at the lovers we have lost
And the words we’ll never say
Who gave me all this fear
And all this love to give away

Look at the stars up in the sky
As we switch the lights back on
Look at the child who’ll never see
Look at what we have become
Remember someone you have loved
But hold a candle for the hate
That burns inside us all

I don’t care what it means
I’m not concerned if it’s wrong
I just want to be little and spend Xmas with my mum

She is the flower that I trod on
On the way to buy this card
A computer written poem
Telling me about my heart
She is the piece of plastic I wrapped up
For a child to undress
He is the shadows in the darkness
The object of my distress
We shall all be silenced
We shall all disappear
And there’ll be nothing and no-one

And now the party is over
Reunited with our halves
We spent the night avoiding
But we can never break apart
And so we’re driving home this Xmas
With nothing but our fears
Keeping us together
Well at least until next year
And the Xmas bells are ringing
With the sounds of breaking glass
And he’s laughing at her
He’s mocking her, he’s making her feel small
Does she want to be little?
Does she want to be small?
Well one more Xmas with him
One more Xmas that’s all
