Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gareth] A wishbone hangs between your breasts I hope you haven't pulled it yet And if this little finger doesn't have the strength Then I'm scared that this bird's back bone breaks [Chorus: Gareth] It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry [Verse 2: Gareth & Kim] I wear a ring of your lipstick Around the knuckle of my fourth digit It reminds me what our bodies sowed It will do until we are betrothed [Chorus: Gareth, Kim & Rob] It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry Never running dry [Verse 3: Gareth & Kim] The space between your navel And your waistband was the ice Where two fingers pirouette But now these hang nails, they just slice [Chorus: Gareth] It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry Never running dry [Bridge: Gareth] Your tongue, the tide, your lips, the shore, I am the jetsam overboard Goodbye courage I christen all the ships that sail on your little kisses' saliva trails Goodbye courage, hello sadness, again [Refrain] Little kisses come to pass, then, goodbye courage, hello sadness [Chorus: Gareth] It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses) And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then) This dripping from my broken heart (Goodbye courage) Is never running dry (Hello sadness) It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses) And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then) My broken heart is never running dry (Goodbye courage) [Verse 4: Gareth] Now that those four fingers gone You leave me only with my thumb That constantly is pointing down The emperor bears teeth not frown [Chorus: Gareth] It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry Never running dry
