Momus - 2009 lyrics

When you two broke up, he did not give up
And now he is stalking you
You are all he talks about
How you two went out
How he'll follow wherever you go

Could he really hope to stay
Does he want to hear you say
That everything can still work out fine?
What world is he on
Singing what maudlin song
Where it's always 2009?

Honore de Balzac said in love it's a fact
That there's always one who suffers
One who's bored and you're bored with him
With tasting his pain
Straight from his smorgasbord, well

What does he believe
Does he expect some reprieve
To make it start over again
With his maudlin old songs
In the world that he's on it's always 2009

Are you sorry for him, the only victim
When your relationship died
Does it make you feel sick
Is the pope a Catholic?
He follows wherever you go

One day he will visit you
Looking like a wounded doe
Telling you he's doing fine
With his maudlin old songs
In the world that he's from it's always 2009
