Title: The song is 'The Greatest View' by Australian band
Silverchair. I cut a few lines at the end so it wasn't too
repetitive. Sorry, Silverchair.
As I spin around, I realised that you're still dancing, prancing with Angel, Riley, Spike whoever, they're all the same, a collective body of dickheads. I want to approach you so badly. Make a bad come-on, wink, lick, thrust, touch, but unfortunately I'm not equipped. I do have the ability, however, to slice and dice, to cut, to fuck, to insult, be a flaw in your flawless life. And you're a flaw in my own life, a fixation an obsession you're the analyst the fungus in my milk, and I know the boys are only a lusty distraction for you, when you want no-one at all. But in the end, they all fall in love with you, don't they? And you got someone; again, you always got someone attached to you who loves you too much. Pure Buffy, martyr Buffy, miss geniality, but through the wind you crawl, and laugh secretly at them, don't you? Laugh at the lovesick fuckwits, laugh at burning dunes, at their unfulfilled heartaches, when no one else will ever see, no one but me.
But I'm waiting, just like the rest of them, waiting for you.
From the dead look in your eyes I'm guessing that you've come to some sort of empty conclusion on your life, a simple summary of singleness, and now that you know why you feel like you do, how about giving me a try? Because the boys, they're turning their head whilst they wait for no-one, you're never gonna give them what they truly want, a relationship a valentine's card a signature a whisper. Not a blow-job but a loving peck on the cheek.
And as you turn around slightly you face me you see me and finally I know why you feel like letting go.
I smile at you and wink and lick and then I'm watching you watch over me, and I'm laughing cos I've got the greatest view from here, your eyes travel like a guilty car around my neck around my chest around my hair I'm watching you watch over me, and B, I've got the greatest view from here….
I think you should come over to me, and you know B, mistakes don't mean a thing if you don't regret them. Give up your conventions for me tonight pack your tactic toes for the winter and dance with me, I'll chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin and you'll finally cool down.
Be cool with me.
No-one else will ever see, I promise B, we'll keep it a secret, well, maybe for a while, cos right now I'm watching you watch over me and I've got the greatest view from here.
For the first time in my life I'm watching you watch over me and I've got the greatest view from here, now that you know why you feel like you do leave them for me, cos they're turning their head whilst they wait for no-one. Come over and dance with me B, finally I know why I feel like you're letting go, you're letting go for me.
You slide up and smile and everyone stares as you finally kiss me I'm still watching you watch over me, and I've got the greatest view from here.
The greatest view.
