  • Born to live and born to die
    Aren't they just the same?
    We're always breaking someone's heart
    Especially our own
    Life goes on its joyful way
    As usual nothing's as it seems
    But to die a good death is my dream

    And I wish it for all, for all I know and love
    Deep down below and high above
    We're born to die, no one to blame
    We're born to love, we're all the same

    Blues stay away, stay away from me
    I hate to lose old friends
    Blues are my enemy, but love gets me through
    Born to live and die
    Forever loving you
    Don't make me cry, know what I must do
    Pray for a good death, one for me, one for you

    And I wish it for all, for all I know and love
    Deep down below and high above
    We're born to die, no one to blame
    We're born to love, we're all the same Writer/s: Ed Harcourt, Marianne Faithfull
