about

I wrote this way before I recorded it. Like 2002 or so. This is not the first time I tried recording it but it's the best one. Some of my favorite lyrics in this song. Maybe one day I'll let you hear the other try. It's not "bad". This one sounds more hopeless.

lyrics

Normal love is beautiful.
It's something I would frame on the wall
But I don't reckon I will ever get to have normal love at all

'Cause normal love is reserved for normal people
That's what I've been told
And all I've got is psychotic strangulation in my soul
Normal love is something I can't have
It makes me mad
Try as I might it's not in my grasp
The madcap laughs

I see you
Arms around your lover
walking 'round without a care
effortless
Are you happy
'cause it seems that way
I watch your public displays of caress

Normal love - it displays itself shamelessly
I've gone so long without affection - it's distressing
No normal love is gonna happen to me
This I can feel
It is to you, but to me it's not real
And that's the deal

Every song I write is a ripoff
Every lyric plagarized
There's an incompleteness in my soul
Like I'm halfway paralyzed
I can't win the girl of my dreams
or save the factory
I'm no movie hero
I'm just me
