who loves you
more than me?
and who gave you
all that he had?
all that he had
and who can make you laugh
and smile like that?
and who could break your heart
at the drop of a hat?
who paid the rent before you were famous?
who warned you that it steals?
now you talk about the past like it was just some waiting room
and you talk about me like i was just another one of your deals
and who wanted you
before all this?
and who held the girl
when no one gave a shit?
who can tell the truth now darlin'
and who can tell a lie?
who said they could never understand how people became monsters
and if that ever happened to you you'd rather lay down and die?
who loved you
more than me?
and who couldn't care less
now that i see
now that i see?
who can tell the truth now darlin'
and who can tell a lie?
who said they could never understand how people became monsters
and if that ever happened to you you'd rather lay down and die?
ah my valentine
you're poisoned now
seems the heart i knew
is gone, a plow
and you can walk away
like it's such a drag
that i should have something to say
after all that we knew and had
It don't even make you sad

Matthew Ryan is brilliant. The fact that he is not better known is criminal. May Day is spectacular, so is East Autumn Grin and Regret Over The Wires. Boxers successfully captures the spirit and grit of those albums, which in my opinion, are his best. Please keep making these fabulous albums Mr.Ryan! Mark Dempster
