Brett Anderson - The Empress - 2008


Didn?t I try To love her?
Didn?t I paint Pictures of her?
Didn?t I try To change?
I shouldn?t have bothered.
Didn?t I buy The ocean for her?
Didn?t I wear The colour
Didn?t I feel The wind?
Didn?t I bleed?

She is strange
And sorrow.
She is Like cherry blossom.
She is The Empress.

Didn?t I kneel Before her?
Didn?t I follow Her orders?
Didn?t I clean Her shit?
Didn?t I fall?
Didn?t I climb The ladder?
Didn?t I smile For the cameras?
Didn?t I feel The wind?
Didn?t I bleed

She is strange And sorrow.
She is Like cherry blossom.
She is The Empress.
She is strange And sorrow.
With lips Like cherry blossom.
She is The Empress
