Bad News

Bad News
Seal did not write this. And these are more or less the same pictures I used in my short lived 2007 post of this song. This original style of presentation has probably been copied a few dozen times by now by all those 'creative' members of YouTube.

Tribulation seizes my full attention
Slipped in with items of ordinary mention
Takes a bit of bad news
Find out what you had to lose
But at least you know that it's the truth

Dwelling on the troubles that once were hated
Learning and experience underrated
Disabled by the moment
Want a tighter hold on it
Keep it from concluding far too soon

Sweeping tides of change
Enter the bitter season
Bare the whole wide range
Where trees stood before
Folly to exchange
Randomness for a reason
Remnants left to gather
Washing up on the shore

Little way to make the day any better
No instructions followed straight to the letter
Could be that the frightening
Turns out more enlightening
Once you go where you never thought you would
Takes a bit of bad news
To be the one who had the blues
But it makes the best time to be good
