Sick and Sad
Catch 22/Streetlight Manifesto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Went to the corner of second and main
And there was someone there
Who mentioned that they hoped that it would rain forever, forever,
So they could drown in peace.

Went down to the hodskin p.l.
But there was nobody to answer
When I rang the doorbell forever, forever
So now I'm sad all the time.

Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like the rain to end. Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet.

Today was the day
But she threw it all away
And I could never understand 'cause she was never one to play
By the rules of the game
Her and me we're so the same
I try so hard
And I never give in
And I am never satisifed until the day that I win




Agaisnt them
But I don't care I'll follow her to anywhere.
