[English]

Would you like to say something before you leave?

Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel

We said goodbye before we said hello

I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all

We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud

From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year

And I would like to know

How do you feel, how do you feel?

How do you feel, how do you feel?

...

Not a single word was said, the night still hid our fears

Occasionally you showed a smile, but what was the need?

I felt the cold far too soon, in a room of 95

My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there

Tomorrow brings another town, another girl like you

Have you time before you leave to greet another man?

Just you let me know

How do you feel, how do you feel?

How do you feel, how do you feel?

...

Goodbye to you

Charlotte Pringle's due

I've had enough for one day
