lyrics

Pushing Flowers (D.Dagenais)
Everyone’s a hero when they’re dead and gone
Every little loser finds they suddenly belong
On a stony alter with a candle
and a rose
that’s the way she goes

She didn’t love you when you were here
she won’t tattoo her arm
She won’t wear her mourning for a year
or write you a song

They can forget your arrogance
but she moans in her sleep
They can forget the cruel remarks.
It’s a secret she keeps

It’s so much easier
to mourn the ones you love
than the ones you can’t forgive
It’s so much easier to
love the ones who’ve gone
than the ones who live

Everyone is beautiful when they’re pushing flowers every ugly mother fucker is suddenly embowered
with a silver halo;
holy and untainted the truth gets painted

They can forget how much they hated
the way you use to rant
They can forget how much you hurt them,
she finds she can’t

Hope everyone is patient
and kinder up in heaven
and every mudsling critic
finds themselves forgiven
standing at the pearly gates
With a mouth full of derision
I hope they let you in.
