  • In the nightclub of my mind, I'm doing cocaine in the cloakroom
    Come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways
    For in the gemstones of your eyes, I see stars that shine forever
    So come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways

    Your companionship will keep me on the dancefloor of the commune
    And from the road to ruin, I'll emerge a better me
    And from the corner of my eye, I see the darkness always follows
    But by now you know that I know only sadness sets me free

    Sadness sets me free
    Only sadness sets me free

    In the mirror of the truth, there's a question mark of candor
    Come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways
    From the showroom of your heart I see the courage of a kestrel
    So come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways

    Your commitment could coerce me into fitful coexistence
    My persistence will be boundless, and the future wide and clear
    But in the corner of my heart is a kernel of resistance
    And by now you know that I know only sadness sets me free

    Sadness sets me free
    Only sadness sets me free

    The beam of your moon lights those rocks in my way
    Your laughter evaporates the struggles of a deer
    But in the shallowing sea of life, there's the longboat of frustration
    Cursing without comfort, only sadness sets me free

    Sadness sets me free
    Only sadness sets me free
    Sadness sets me free
    Only sadness sets me free

    Sadness
    Sets me free
    Sadness
    Sets me free
    Sadness
    Sets me free
    Sadness
    Sets me free Writer/s: Gruff Rhys
