[Verse 1: Gareth]
A wishbone hangs between your breasts
I hope you haven't pulled it yet
And if this little finger doesn't have the strength
Then I'm scared that this bird's back bone breaks

[Chorus: Gareth]
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry

[Verse 2: Gareth & Kim]
I wear a ring of your lipstick
Around the knuckle of my fourth digit
It reminds me what our bodies sowed
It will do until we are betrothed

[Chorus: Gareth, Kim & Rob]
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never running dry

[Verse 3: Gareth & Kim]
The space between your navel
And your waistband was the ice
Where two fingers pirouette
But now these hang nails, they just slice
[Chorus: Gareth]
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never running dry

[Bridge: Gareth]
Your tongue, the tide, your lips, the shore, I am the jetsam overboard
Goodbye courage
I christen all the ships that sail on your little kisses' saliva trails
Goodbye courage, hello sadness, again

[Refrain]
Little kisses come to pass, then, goodbye courage, hello sadness

[Chorus: Gareth]
It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses)
And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then)
This dripping from my broken heart (Goodbye courage)
Is never running dry (Hello sadness)
It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses)
And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then)
My broken heart is never running dry (Goodbye courage)

[Verse 4: Gareth]
Now that those four fingers gone
You leave me only with my thumb
That constantly is pointing down
The emperor bears teeth not frown
[Chorus: Gareth]
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never running dry
