Gift Horse Mouth - Marty's Diary Lyrics
Jimmy s still laughing as he sits beneath a tree,
Open s up the stolen rucksack, takes out Marty s Diary,
Flips through the tear soaked pages, thinks I ll have a little read,
While he s still in the bathroom trying to stem the bleed.
Dear Diary,
First day at new school today,
And I can t wait,
Supplementary:
I could have waited,
I ve been and I hate it,
The girls don t like me,
The boys despise me!
Saltwater blotted your pages again today.
Jimmy s still laughing as he sits beneath the tree,
Who in the world is this pathetic boy supposed to be?
Gathers his friends around him so they all can take a look,
At the lonely boy s dark confessions in Marty s private book.
Dear Diary,
Jimmy stole my money again today,
What the hell would my parents say?
Supplementary:
I have no hope,
Everyone s against me and I can t cope,
The girls tell me I m ugly,
The boys, they all shove me.
Saltwater blotted your pages again today.
Billy says, Did you punch him? And I want the truth
Jimmy smiles and from his pocket he produces a tooth,
Of course, he laughed and passed it round, here is the proof!
When the headmaster finds out he ll hit the fucking roof!
Dear Diary,
Told the teacher I d been punched in the head,
Don t go round telling tales she said.
Supplementary:
Nobody in the world understands,
So I ll just take my life into my hands,
No one will miss me any way,
Things will just get worse if I stay,
And I blotted your pages again today.
A shock shot through Jimmy like he d been hit by a car,
Do you think, maybe, we went a little too far?
So Jimmy went to the bathroom to take a look,
And when he got home, wrote in his private book:
Dear Diary,
Had the worst day of my life today,
Started out as fun, just a game to play,
Didn t mean no real harm.
I was wrong, but I glanced in his diary,
And it opened my eyes, it made me see,
That this loser boy was, in fact, a human being,
I ve been so cruel, I ve been a fool, but now I am seeing,
In my mind I could hear his sobs, his yells and his cries,
Thought now was the time to be a man and apologise.
Went into the bathroom to call a truce,
And there I found Marty hanging from a noose.
Saltwater just blotted your pages today.
