2009 - Momus

When you two broke up, he did not give up

And now he is stalking you

You are all he talks about, how you two went out

How he’ll follow wherever you go

Could he really hope to stay, does he want to hear you say

That everything can still work out fine?

What world is he on, singing what maudlin song

Where it’s always 2009?

Honore de Balzac said in love it’s a fact

That there’s always one who suffers, one who’s bored

And you’re bored with him, with tasting his pain

Straight from his smorgasbord, well

What does he believe, does he expect some reprieve

To make it start over again

With his maudlin old songs, in the world that he’s on

It’s always 2009

Are you sorry for him, the only victim

When your relationship died

Does it make you feel sick, is the pope a Catholic?

He follows wherever you go

One day he will visit you looking like a wounded doe

Telling you he’s doing fine

With his maudlin old songs, in the world that he’s from

It’s always 2009
