The Animals/Muse (whichever version tickles your fancy)- House of the rising sun

 

There is, A house, In New Orleans,

They call the rising sun,

And it's been, the ruin, of many a poor boy

And God, I know, I'm one

 

Mother, Tell you're children

Not to do, what i have done

When you spend your life,

In sin and misery

In the house, Of the rising Sun

 

There is, A house, In New Orleans,

They call the rising sun,

And it's been, the ruin, of many a poor boy

And God, I know, I'm one

A-HA - Hunting High and Low

 

Here I am

And within the reach of my hands

She sounds asleep and she's sweeter now

Than the wildest dream could have seen her

And I Watch her slipping away

Though I know I'll be hunting high and low

 

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Hunting high and low

High

There's no end to lengths I'll go

 

To find her again

Upon this my dreams are depending

Through the dark

I sense the pounding of her heart

Next to mine

She's the sweetest love I could find

So I guess I'll be hunting high and low

 

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

High and Low

High

Do you know what it means to love you...

 

I'm hunting high and low

And now she's telling me she's got to

go away

I'll always be hunting high and low

Hungry for you

Watch me tearing myself to pieces

Hunting high and low

 

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and

low

MADONNA-HUNG UP

 

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

 

Every little thing that you say or do

I'm hung up

I'm hung up on you

Waiting for your call

Baby night and day

I'm fed up

I'm tired of waiting on you

 

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

No time to hesitate

Those who run seem to have all the fun

I'm caught up

I don't know what to do

 

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

I don't know what to do

 

Every little thing that you say or do

I'm hung up

I'm hung up on you

Waiting for your call

Baby night and day

I'm fed up

I'm tired of waiting on you

 

Every little thing that you say or do

I'm hung up

I'm hung up on you

 

Waiting for your call

Baby night and day

I'm fed up

I'm tired of waiting on you

 

Ring ring ring goes the telephone

The lights are on but there's no-one home

Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two

And I'm done

I'm hanging up on you

 

I can't keep on waiting for you

I know that you're still hesitating

Don't cry for me

'cause I'll find my way

you'll wake up one day

but it'll be too late

 

Every little thing that you say or do

I'm hung up

I'm hung up on you

Waiting for your call

Baby night and day

I'm fed up

I'm tired of waiting on you

 

Every little thing that you say or do

I'm hung up

I'm hung up on you

Waiting for your call

Baby night and day

I'm fed up

I'm tired of waiting on you

 

 

IT'S EVERYWHERE!! :bigcry:

(Hetfield,ulrich)

 

I Can't Remember Anything

Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream

Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream

this Terrible Silence Stops Me

Now That the War Is Through with Me

I'm Waking up I Can Not See

That There Is Not Much Left of Me

Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

 

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death

Oh Please God,wake Me

 

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real

in Pumps Life That I must Feel

but Can't Look Forward to Reveal

Look to the Time When I'll Live

Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me

Just like a Wartime Novelty

Tied to Machines That Make Me Be

Cut this Life off from Me

 

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death

Oh Please God,wake Me

 

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One

Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death

Oh Please God Help Me

 

Darkness

 

Imprisoning Me

All That I See

Absolute Horror

I Cannot Live

I Cannot Die

Trapped in Myself

Body My Holding Cell

 

Landmine

 

Has Taken My Sight

Taken My Speech

Taken My Hearing

Taken My Arms

Taken My Legs

Taken My Soul

Left Me with Life in Hell

The Shins - "Pink Bullets"

 

I was just bony hands as cold as a

winter pole you held a warm stone

out new flowing blood to hold oh

what a contrast you were to the

brutes in the halls my timid young

fingers held a decent animal

 

Over the ramparts you tossed the

scent of your skin and some

foreign flowers tied to a brick

sweet as a song the years have

been short but the days were long

 

Cool of a temperate breeze from

dark skies to wet grass we fell in a

field it seems now a thousand

summers passed when our kite

lines first crossed we tied them

into knots and to finally fly apart

we had to cut them off

 

Since then it's been a book you

read in reverse so you understand

less as the pages turn or a movie so

crass and awkwardly cast that even

I could be the star

 

I don't look back much as a rule and

all this way before murder was cool

but your memory is here and I'd like

it to stay warm light on a winter day

 

Over the ramparts you tossed the

scent of your skin and some foreign

flowers tied to a brick sweet as a

song the years have been short but

the days go slowly by two loose

kites falling from the sky drawn to

the ground and an end to flight.

A-HA-Holyground

 

Take your pride,

And lift it high.

I’ve come to say goodbye.

 

You’ve got your life,

And I’ve got mine.

Sometimes is hard to draw that line

 

I like to walk and my way is my own.

You taught me how, don’t you know

 

A there must be some place to meet

I take of my shoes

I’ll walk barefoot when I do.

Standing there in front of you,

I want to be honest,

I want to be true.

 

I like to walk, and my way is my own.

You taught me how, don’t you know

what we found

 

Brother maybe

We’re on holyground

(brother take your pride and lift it hide)

Take your pride

And lift it high.

(there must be someplace …)

 

I must leave without your good advice

I’ll go stronger where the mountains rise.

Standing there in front of you,

I want to be honest,

I want to be true.

 

In front of you ...

 

(brother take your pride and lift it high)

And I’ll praise (?) you

(there must be someplace …)

 

We’re on Holyground

(brother take your pride and lift it high)

Take your pride

And lift it high.

(there must be someplace …)

Bruce Springsteen - "Thunder Road"

 

The screen door slams

Mary's dress waves

Like a vision she dances across the porch

As the radio plays

Roy Orbison singing for the lonely

Hey that's me and I want you only

Don't turn me home again

I just can't face myself alone again

Don't run back inside

darling you know just what I'm here for

So you're scared and you're thinking

That maybe we ain't that young anymore

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night

You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright

Oh and that's alright with me

 

You can hide `neath your covers

And study your pain

Make crosses from your lovers

Throw roses in the rain

Waste your summer praying in vain

For a savior to rise from these streets

Well now I'm no hero

That's understood

All the redemption I can offer, girl

Is beneath this dirty hood

With a chance to make it good somehow

Hey what else can we do now

Except roll down the window

And let the wind blow back your hair

Well the night's busting open

These two lanes will take us anywhere

We got one last chance to make it real

To trade in these wings on some wheels

Climb in back

Heaven's waiting on down the tracks

Oh oh come take my hand

Riding out tonight to case the promised land

Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road

oh Thunder Road

Lying out there like a killer in the sun

Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run

Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold

Thunder Road

 

Well I got this guitar

And I learned how to make it talk

And my car's out back

If you're ready to take that long walk

>From your front porch to my front seat

The door's open but the ride it ain't free

And I know you're lonely

For words that I ain't spoken

But tonight we'll be free

All the promises'll be broken

There were ghosts in the eyes

Of all the boys you sent away

They haunt this dusty beach road

In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

 

They scream your name at night in the street

Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet

And in the lonely cool before dawn

You hear their engines roaring on

But when you get to the porch they're gone

On the wind, so Mary climb in

It's a town full of losers

And I'm pulling out of here to win.

Depeche Mode- "In Your Room"

 

In your room

Where time stands still

Or moves at your will

Will you let the morning come soon

Or will you leave me lying here

In your favourite darkness

Your favourite half-light

Your favourite consciousness

Your favourite slave

 

In your room

Where souls disappear

Only you exist here

Will you lead me to your armchair

Or leave me lying here

Your favourite innocence

Your favourite prize

Your favourite smile

Your favourite slave

 

I'm hanging on your words

Living on your breath

Feeling with your skin

Will I always be here

 

In your room

Your burning eyes

Cause flames to arise

Will you let the fire die down soon

Or will I always be here

Your favourite passion

Your favourite game

Your favourite mirror

Your favourite slave

 

I'm hanging on your words

Living on your breath

Feeling with your skin

Will I always be here

 

Will I always be here

Not about love- fiona apple

 

The early cars

Already are

Drawing deep breaths past my door

And last night's phrases

Sick with lack of basis

Are still writhing on my floor

 

And it doesn't seem fair

That your wicked words should work

In holding me down

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

 

Conversation once colored by esteem

Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood

Took a vacation, my palate got clean

Now I can taste your agenda

While you're spitting your cud

 

And it doesn't make sense

I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

 

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

 

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

 

"What is this posture I have to stare at"

That's what he said when I was sittin' up straight

Change the name of the game when he lost it

He knew he was wrong but he knew it too late

But I'm not being fair

'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth

But I'd like to choose right

Take all the things that I said that he stole

Put 'em in a sack

Swing 'em over my shoulder

Turn on my heels

Step out of this sight

Try to live in a lovelier light

 

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I cant stop falling out

 

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact i cant stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

^ Good song. :)

 

The Decemberists - "The Engine Driver"

 

I'm an engine driver

on a long run,

on a long run.

Would I were beside her:

she's a long one,

such a long one.

 

And if you don't love me, let me go.

And if you don't love me, let me go.

 

I'm a county lineman

on the high line,

on the high line.

So will be my grandson:

there are powerlines

in our bloodlines.

 

And if you don't love me, let me go.

And if you don't love me, let me go.

 

And I am a writer,

writer of fictions,

I am the heart that you call home.

And I've written pages upon pages

trying to rid you from my bones,

my bones, my bones.

 

I'm a money-lender:

I have fortunes

upon fortunes.

Take my hand for tender.

I am tortured,

ever tortured.

 

And if you don't love me, let me go.

And if you don't love me, let me go.

 

And I am a writer,

writer of fictions,

I am the heart that you call home.

And I've written pages upon pages

trying to rid you from my bones.

I am writer,

I am all that you have hoped of.

And I've written pages upon pages

trying to rid you from my bones,

my bones, my bones.

 

And if you don't love me, let me go.

And if you don't love me, let me go.

Minarets~ Dave Matthews Band

 

Santa Maria choose your children

Santa Maria virgin child

All our wars over you we are fighting

And all our time faith justifying

 

Brother caged Babylon will fall

Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding

The TV's on, to me this explains it

Wearing a tie like daddy speaks it

 

Screaming from the minarets

 

Later on we'll all be dancing

Screaming from the minarets

Yes indeed I'm making faces

 

Rain on the ground in a space

God has grown

Alone 'til a man looking glass in his hand

He is holding up to you

 

What you see

What you see

What you see

What you see is human

 

What you see

What you see

What you see

What you see is human

 

what you see

What you see

What You See

WHAT YOU SEE IS HUMAN

 

Screaming from the minarets

The Shins - "New Slang"

 

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.

Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.

Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.

I was happier then with no mind-set.

 

And if you'd 'a took to me like

A gull takes to the wind.

Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree

And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

 

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.

Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.

Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,

Never should have called

But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

 

And if you'd 'a took to me like

A gull takes to the wind.

Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree

And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

 

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,

And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.

 

I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.

Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?

And if you'd 'a took to me like

Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

Fiona Apple - Not An Addict

 

Breathe it in and breathe it out

And pass it on, it's almost out

We're so creative, so much more

We're high above but on the floor

 

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side

 

The deeper you stick it in your vein

The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain

I'm in heaven, I'm a god

I'm everywhere, I feel so hot

 

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side

I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

 

It's over now, I'm cold, alone

I'm just a person on my own

Nothing means a thing to me

(Nothing means a thing to me)

 

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side

I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

 

Free me, leave me

Watch me as I'm going down

Free me, see me

Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling.

 

It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel...

It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive

 

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side

I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

I'm not an addict...

Eres- Cafe Tacuba

 

 

Eres lo que mas quiero en este mundo, eso eres,

mi pensamiento mas profundo, también eres,

tan sólo dime lo que hago, aquí me tienes.

 

Eres cuando despierto lo primero, eso eres,

lo que a mi vida le hace falta si no vienes,

lo único, preciosa, que mi mente habita hoy.

 

Qué mas puedo decirte, tal vez puedo mentirte sin razón,

pero lo que hoy siento es que sin ti estoy muerto,

pues eres lo que mas quiero en este mundo, eso eres.

 

Eres el tiempo que comparto, eso eres,

lo que la gente promete cuando se quiere

mi salvación, mi esperanza y mi fe.

 

Soy el que quererte quiere como nadie soy,

el que te llevaría el sustento día a día, día a día,

el que por ti daría la vida, ese soy.

 

Aquí estoy a tu lado y espero aquí sentado hasta el final.

No te has imaginado lo que por ti he esperado

pues eres lo que yo amo en este mundo, eso eres,

cada minuto en lo que pienso, eso eres,

lo que más cuido en este mundo, eso eres.

 

I will translate it for you guys ;)

 

You are who I love in this world, that’s what you are

My deepest thought, you also are

You only have to tell me what to do, I’m here for you

 

You are, the first thing when I wake up, that’s what you are

The thing that’s missing in my life if you are not here

The only thing, precious, that lives in my mind

What else can I say; maybe I could lie without reason

But what I fell now is that with you I’m dead

Because you are what I love in this world, that’s what you are

You are the time that I share, that’s what you are

You are what people promise when they love each other

My salvation, my hope and my faith

 

I’m the one who wants to love you like no one, that’s what I am

The one who will give you everything day by day

The one who will give the life for you

 

Im here with you And I will wait sitting until the end

You don’t know what I had waited for you

Because you are who I love in this world, that’s what you are

I think of you every minute. That’s what you are

What I take care in this world, you are

Magne Furuholmen - Kryptonite

 

Words find ways back to bite you

Things you say come to spite you

You can close your eyes if you have to

But life goes go on without you

 

Easy on the kryptonite

Easy on the black and white

Easy on the kryptonite

There's no need for us to fight

I will find ways without you.

 

You'll find new ways to doubt me

That's how you'll get on without me

You can keep your guard up if need be

Just remember this when you see me:

 

Go easy on the kryptonite

Easy on the black and white

Just try to be civilized

No one wants to compromise

Cuz my I'm way to tired to fight you

But I will find ways without you.

 

Well time flies by if we let it

Time is yours don't you get it?

Don't you want it?

Say you want it.

 

Friends make sure to remind you

Of things you thought were behind you

You can kick and scream all you want to

But this words will come back to haunt you :

 

 

Go easy on the kryptonite

Easy on the black and white

Just try to be civilized

No one wants to compromise

If you don't like the way it sounds

Well, bite me

 

Cuz I will find ways without you

Cuz I will find ways without you

Original Of The Species-U2(awsome lyrics+awsome song)

 

 

Baby slow down

The end is not as fun as the start

Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

 

I'll give you everything you want

Except the thing that you want

You are the first one of your kind

 

And you feel like no-one before

You steal right under my door

I kneel 'cos I want you some more

I want the lot of what you got

And I want nothing that you're not

 

Everywhere you go you shout it

You don't have to be shy about it

 

Some things you shouldn't get too good at

Like smiling, crying and celerity

Some people got way too much confidence baby, baby

 

I'll give you everything you want

Except the thing that you want

You are the first one of your kind

 

And you feel like no-one before

You steal right under my door

I kneel 'cos I want you some more

I want the lot of what you got

And I want nothing that you're not

 

Everywhere you go you shout it

You don't have to be shy about it, no

Oh no, oh no no no

(Here's your father)

 

Didit, didit, didit, didit, didit, didit, didit, didit

Didit, didit, didit, didit, didit, didit, didit

Sugar come on

Come on now show your soul

You've been keeping your love under control

 

Everywhere you go you shout it

You don't have to be shy about it (no)

Everywhere you go you shout it (on high)

Oh my my

 

And you feel like no-one before

You steal right under my door

I kneel 'cos I want you some more

I want you some more, I want you some more

 

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Depeche Mode- Enjoy the Silence (My first Love ^_^)

 

Words like violence

Break the silence

Come crashing in

Into my little world

Painful to me

Pierce right through me

Can't you understand

Oh my little girl

 

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

 

Vows are spoken

To be broken

Feelings are intense

Words are trivial

Pleasures remain

So does the pain

Words are meaningless

And forgettable

 

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

MEW - THE SEETHING RAIN WEEPS FOR YOU

 

Saying goodbye now

Looking at friends

A lump comes in my throat

Hearing them all speak of you

 

It rains

We have no umbrella brought

With which the wind be fought

The seething rain weeps for you

 

Speaking of better days

There are so many things I want to say

Should I re-live my life

I’d run into you much sooner

 

Time has, it would seem

Quickened its pace

Leaving upon your face

A curly smile meant just for me

 

Speaking of better days

I try to remember everything

But as the years go by

The dark moments lift

Like rain clouds do

 

With destruction hands

And low lit snow becoming

Winter body aches

 

Speaking of better days

I try to remember everything

But as the years go by

The dark moments lift

Like rain clouds do

 

From my window I watch the day go by

^^ Enjoy the silence depeche mode, great song!

 

Silverchair : Ana's Song

 

Please die ana

For as long as you’re here we’re not

You make the sound of laughter

And sharpened nails seem softer

 

And I need you now somehow

And I need you now somehow

 

Open fire on the needs designed

On my knees for you

Open fire on my knees desires

What I need from you

 

Imagine a pageant

In my head the flesh seems thicker

Sandpaper tears corrode the filth

 

And I need you now somehow

And I need you now somehow

 

Open fire on the needs designed

On my knees for you

Open fire on my knees desires

What I need from you

 

And you’re my obsession

I love you to the bones

And ana wrecks your life

Like an anorexia life

 

Open fire on the needs designed

On my knees for you

Open fire on my knees desires

What I need from you

Open fire on the needs designed

Open fire on my knees desires

On my knees for you

Fiona Apple - I Know

 

So be it, I'm your crowbar

If that's what I am so far

Until you get out of this mess

And I will pretend

That I don't know of your sins

Until you are ready to confess

But all the time, all the time

I'll know, I'll know

And you can use my skin

To bury secrets in

And I will settle you down

And at my own suggestion,

I will ask no questions

While I do my thing in the background

But all the time, all the time

I'll know, I'll know

Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around

So for the time being, I'm being patient

And amidst this bitterness

If you'll just consider this-even if it don't make sense

All the time-give it time

And when the crown becomes your burden

And you've early closed your curtains,

I'll wait by the backstage door

While you try to find the lines to speak your mind

And pry it open, hoping for an encore

And if it gets to late, for me to wait

For you to find you love me, and tell me so

It's ok, don't need to say it.

Franz Ferdinand- You're The Reason I'm Leaving

 

some granite wall

Numbs our bones, numbs our all

As we sit on skinny hands

Nothin to say, nothin at all

oh

I don't know you

and I

I don't want to

You're so awkward just like me

But I don't care

 

Ohhh, You're the reason I'm leavin

You're the reason I'm leavin

If I'm leaving we don't stop livin, you know

 

I've no idea, oh

That in four years

I'd be hanging from a beam

Behind the door of number ten

Singin' well, fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well

I am leaving, yes I leave it all to you...

 

You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)

you're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)

If I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know

I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)

You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)

If I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know

 

As we ride along

Under an optimistic sun

The radio sings that everybody song by rem

And here I am fighting, fighting

Yes I'm fighting not to cry

and that's another reason why

I ought to hate you like I do

Like I do, ohh like I do

 

You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)

You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)

if I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know

I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)

I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)

If we're leaving we don't stop livin', you know

this song used to be my favourite for ages ... just love the lyrics

 

A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras

Threw you the obvious

And you flew with it on your back

A name in your recollection

Down among a million, say:

Difficult enough to feel a little bit

Disappointed, passed over.

When I've looked right through,

To see you naked and oblivious

and you don't see me

 

Well I threw you the obvious,

Just to see if there's more behind the

Eyes of a fallen angel,

Eyes of a tragedy.

 

Here I am expecting just a little bit

Too much from the wounded

But I see,

See through it all,

See through,

And see you.

 

So I threw you the obvious

Do you see what occurs behind the

Eyes of a fallen angel

Eyes of a tragedy

 

Well, oh well..

 

Apparently nothing.

Apparently nothing at all.

 

You don't

You don't

You don't see me

You don't

You don't

You don't see me

You don't

You don't

You don't see me

You don't

You don't

You don't see me at all

Depeche Mode- Walking in my Shoes

 

I would tell you about the things they put me through

The pain I've been subjected to

But the Lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse would start to rush

 

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

 

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

 

Morality would frown upon

Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me

But I promise now, my judge and jurors

My intentions couldn't have been purer

My case is easy to see

 

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

 

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

 

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

 

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

"Half Day Closing" - Portishead

 

In the days, the golden days,

When everybody knew what they wanted

It ain't here today

 

Through the times of lasting love,

When parents talked of things tried and tested,

They don't feel the same.

 

Dreams and belief have gone,

Time, life itself goes on.

 

From beyond the shrinking skies,

Where money talks and leaves us hypnotized,

It don't pave the way.

 

Underneath the fading sun,

The silent sum of a businessman,

Has left us choking.

 

Dreams and belief have gone,

Time, life itself goes on.

 

In the days, the golden days,

When everybody knew what they wanted,

It ain't here today

 

Dreams and belief have gone,

Time, life itself goes on.
