about

*NOTE* This song's lyrics were inspired by the novel "The God Of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy. Read it.

lyrics

if he met her he couldn't kiss her
(perdóneme mi amor)
if he kissed her he couldn't hold her
(no puedo darte un beso)
if he held her he couldn't see her
(perdóneme mi amor)
If he saw her he couldn't know her
(perdón)

He could do only one thing at a time
He could do almost anything if he had the time

If he spoke he couldn't listen
(nunca me escuchas)
If he loved her he couldn't leave
(¿puede usted me ama?)
if he fought he couldn't win
if he moved he couldn't breathe
(note muevas mi querido)
he couldn't breathe
(mi querido)

he could do only one thing at a time
he could do almost anything if he had the time

he left no image in mirrors
he left no footprints in sand
he left no ripples in water
he was hardly a man
hardly a man
hardly a man

if he missed her he couldn't tell her
if he sought her he couldn't find her

Les Monstres Terribles Toronto, Ontario

Good Evening.

We were born on a haunted island where it always rains but have since run away from it. We have come to rest at the foot of a small mountain in a city that is constantly trying to kill us. These are the choices we have made.

Please watch your step. ... more
