Losing The Will To Die lyrics - Del Amitri

I wish I could feel like people feel

I wish I didn't have a heart

That sits like a stone in its jail of bones

Ready to be ripped apart

But yesterday I felt a funny thing

Maybe you know why

I'm losing the will

I'm losing the will to die

I thought I was done, I was way beyond

The solace of the sight of land

No flash of distress in the blackness

Everything beautifully planned

But suddenly I see searchlights

Maybe you know why

I'm losing the will

I'm losing the will to die

I've got pills and poisons

Hosepipes, knives

And ropes in rich supply

But the notes I wrote are mouldy

And the inkwell's going dry

Cos I'm losing the will

I'm losing the will to die

Hooray! Hooray! It's Saturday

Time to tie the noose

All praise to you and your savagery

The rope has another use

So happy that I've got an aim in life

Maybe you know why

I'm losing the will

I'm losing the will to die

I'm losing the will

I'm losing the will to die
