This Is The End by Xtc


This is the end

This is the end

This is the part where all the curtains come down

And they won't drop fat boy on your town

But if they do I hope it's not a trend


This is the end

This is the end

This is the reel where all the titles come up

And you have no more drink in your cup

So here's where sweet and bitter rivers blend


This is the end

Of all the bread we broke together

This is the end

Of all that fine and misty weather


I don't want to hear you've been crying

I don't want to hear you've been trying to revive it

Let it go

Let it lay down

Let it go

And if it won't stay down that's the surest sign

That something new's beginning


This is the end

This is the end

This is the part where all the lights flicker on

And we can see the popcorn is gone

Off looking for new causes to defend


This is the end

This is the end

That mythical place where everybody shakes hands

No hard feelings and no hard glands

The Bible says it's when cats and dogs make friends


This is the end

Of all the wars of all the roses

This is the end

Of kissing ass and rubbing noses


I don't want to hear you've been sorry

I don't want to hear you've been worrying about me

Let it die

Let it lay down

Let it die

So it'll all break down to rotten

That's the way we grow new flowers


This is the end

This is the end

Now this is where the screen has led us all to

A sign that says "please start here anew"

So let me hear the violins all rend
