Lyrics: Even When You're Glad It's Gone

You know you've done the right thing, yeah?
Everybody said you had to do it
So why'd you feel the need to move on in life after
Only one thousand four-forty minutes?

It took you longer than that
When you tried to clean out the flat

You need to mourn something that's over,
Even when you're glad it's gone
Sit yourself back down on the sofa,
And go and put your cardigan on

At some point you'll need to wallow
You'll need to pay the Doom Chalet a visit
So why wait until tomorrow?
Get some booze, and get on down into self-pity

You will rise to rock again
But until then

You need to mourn something that's over,
Even when you're glad it's gone
Sit yourself back down on the sofa,
And go and put your cardigan on
If you don't do it now you will regret it
Like a credit card you can't be arsed to pay
The interest will mount up if you don't get it
Sorted within 28 days

I recommend a night of telly
Tortilla chips and salsa and some wine
A gym's OK for sorting out your belly
But you need some fuel for sorting out your mind

Melancholy's not all bad
You've got good reason for your feeling sad

You need to mourn something that's over,
Even when you're glad it's gone
Sit yourself back down on the sofa,
And go and put your cardigan on
Even when you're glad it's gone
(you need to mourn something that's over)
Even when you're glad it's gone
('cos if you don't it will take over)
Even when you're glad it's gone
Then it's gone, and that's good.
