The Day After The Funeral Lyrics by Peter Cat

The Saccharine Underground

2020

[Verse 1]
A former classmate told me you'd been found
Somewhere out towards the edge of Perth
Newspapers ran the address
I hovered over it on Google Earth
Then cracked a pair of fried eggs
Putin was in Ukraine
Which morning radio was trying to explain
My feed was full of grief already
But what more could I say?
What tired platitude could I lay by your grave?
[Chorus 1]
On the day after the funeral
I ate my breakfast as usual
And the cold sun will set
Just like it did yesterday
[Verse 2]
I used to think that you playеd gay
To put me off pursuing you in school
The Telеgraph read primly
Said you'd been having "personal issues"
In grey text on a white screen
Like grey skin on a white sheet
What were you running from?
The man you quietly married?
Or the women you desired?
The god you served
He forged them all in the same fire
Could you not have realised this
And reconciled yourself
Before you took that bottle off the bathroom shelf?
[Chorus 2]
On the day after the funeral
I ate my breakfast as usual
And the cold sun will set
Just like it did yesterday
[Bridge]
I figured it out, I puzzled it out
Oh Sarah I know, I know how it sounds
But just hear me out
The soul it goes on
Long after we die
On some other plane
You are alive, somehow, some way
You have to be moving across the Hebrides
[Outro]
Are you in sight of Iona now?
And can you see the abbey now?
Do you dwell within the stonework now?
If I touched it, could I feel you now?
If I, if I
