lyrics

Thanks for the flowers friends, they’ll surely have their use
Like feed the maggots, before they start to chew
On my poor body, still dressed in black
Eyes pointed to the sky with a knife stuck in my back

Oh, don’t be sad for me, I went wearing a smile
Oh, don’t be sad for me, I didn’t fail a trial
Oh, don’t be sad for me, idealized denial
Oh, don’t be sad, no don’t be sad

Was there a reason why it ended all so soon?
If I could read or write I’d write a song for you
To find some closure, to feel alright
To see me shining where I don’t believe there’s light

Oh, don’t be sad for me, I went wearing a smile
Oh, don’t be sad for me, I didn’t fail a trial
Oh, don’t be sad for me, idealized denial
Oh, don’t be sad, no don’t be sad

Preserve the memory
Is this an elegy?
Is there a way to see what the hell came after me?

Thanks for the flowers
Thank you, more please!

about

Quiet Pig image

Quiet Pig Prato, Italy

Quiet Pig are not called Quiet Pig because of the Irish proverb "It's the quiet pigs that eat the meal", but we are glad about the happy coincidence! We were thinking of calling the band "Pübes". In the end we think we made the right choice.

Formed in 2007, broke up in 2009, made up in 2012, first EP out in 2014. Yeeesh.

Enough already. Go listen to our stuff. It's free!!! ... more
