Artist: Echo ‘Day OscarMusic: Lalao H. RakotoniainaLyrics: Lalao H. Rakotoniaina[verse]That’s some hurt you’re lugging around babyWhen your voice dies in a breath all the timeSail across the Straight to save yourselfWish you stayed right here tonight and nowhere else[chorus]But it doesn’t matter anymoreAll the laughter was left hanging by the shoreAnd the music is not playing Playing on anymoreWhen you been used and abusedMatter what you chooseIt’s a chore[bridge]OohOoh OohA chore[verse]Keep a durrie on me instead of beggingGot pissed and gone outside tonightAnd the wind is blowing through the crowd on the ferry (mmh) Cup a hand around the light[chorus]But it doesn’t matter anymoreAll the laughter was left hanging on the shoreand the music is not playing Playing on anymoreMan we been used and abusedMatter what we chooseIt’s a chore[break][bridge]OohOohOohA chore
