END IT ON THIS
(G. Stefani, T. Dumont, T. Kanal, E. Stefani)
from the album Tragic Kingdom

One of the darkest songs in terms of subject matter, this song - like many of the songs featured on Tragic Kingdom - chronicles Gwen and Tony's breakup. Played live every now and then after the album's release, it became a staple on the ROCK SHOW tour. The highlight? A great piano line comes close, but the climax where Tom's screaming guitar solo makes way for the urgent delivery of Gwen's lyrics during the bridge makes this song one of the best works the band has ever delivered.

You see in the past
I had a dream
A fantasy
I thought that we would last
Become a little family
Then one, two, three, four
The years were flying by
They soared
And it's my gut feeling
It's not happening for me, so...

Let's end it on this
Give me one more kiss
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

You see it's hard to face
The addict that's inside of me
I want to fill my glass up
With you constantly
I've been here before
But I've never ever felt this sure
And now I know I've been dreaming
And your actions
Have inspired me, so...

Let's end it on this
Give me one more kiss (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this (it's over)
Just one more wish
One last kiss (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

I open up, you ignore me
Oh you're not the same at all no
And if I turn back
The pages of time
I'd rewrite your point of view uh huh

Washed up on the shore
Given one last chance
To try some more
But I'm tired, I'm freezing
Let's stop and call it history

Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on (let's end it) instead
Let's end it on this
End it on this (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on (let's end it)

Washed up on the shore
Given one last chance to try some more
But let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over
