Lyrics
so one more drink before we go
i'm a believer
if the truth be told
deep in every man
there lays a good soul
sometimes it's clear to see
sometimes it's hard to find
so one more drink
before the road
let's raise our glasses
high
i'll drink to you
if you'll drink to me
before we say
goodbye
i'm a believer
if the truth be told
what goes around
comes around
sometimes i don't know what i should do
sometimes it's just so obvious
so one more drink
before the road
let's raise our glasses
high
i'll drink to you
if you'll drink to me
before we say
goodbye
anymore
no one really gives a damn
as long as it's not happening
to them
it's every man for himself
don't care about no one else
but you
and yours
how did it come to this
was there something that i missed
am i still living in the past
used to be there for me
and we'd be there for you
that don't happen anymore
that don't happen anymore
the rich get rich the poor get poorer
it's the only thing we know for sure
for sure
it's down to luck and happenstance
but some will never get the chance
to grow
how did it come to this
was there something that i missed
whatever happened to our dreams
used to be there for me
and we'd be there for you
that doesn't happen anymore
doesn't happen anymore
all the children
i closed my eyes
and i dreamt too long
lived in a little bubble
all of my own
i was the centre
of my universe
nothing else mattered but me
i closed my eyes
so i was blind
nothing could move me
from the path i was on
i was asleep
never saw the pain
never felt the hurt
never moved nor touched
nothing else mattered but me
i awoke from my dream
my happy reverie
i opened my eyes
and i saw the lie that i was living
i opened my eyes to reality
it's there for you to see
it's there for you to see
all the blood
all the hurt
all the hate
all the bombs
all the smoke
all the children
size nine feet
they say i'm homo sapien
a member of the great apes
and nearly all my dna
is the same as in a chimpanzee
you know it's only yesterday
since i climbed down from the trees
standing tall in my size nine feet
well know i'm walking upright
as a result of evolution
but my back is breaking
for the industrial revolution
it's put a stop to my evolution
i'm feeling small in my size nine feet
i'm feeling small
they put me in a rocket ship
a caveman in a spacesuit
they say i took a giant leap
but i don't feel the gravity
cos nearly all my dna
is the same as in a chimpanzee
standing tall in my size nine feet
come rescue me
come rescue me
from isolation
from this loneliness and boredom
i've been talking to myself again
whispering sweet nothings
to no one
but myself
trying to remember
all my thoughts and memories
trying to remember
desires and wistful reveries
come rescue me
come rescue me
save me
from myself
and all my demons
and all those dark secrets
still haunting me
come rescue me
etc
just a dream
If you could look into a crystall ball
and see a future that was wonderful
would you believe it or would you doubt
what you thought
that you saw
was a dream
come to nought
what you thought
that you saw
was a dream
just a dream
if you where dealt a winning hand
would you play it cool take your time
or would you give the game away
what you thought
that you saw
was a dream
come to nought
what you thought
that you saw
was a dream
just a dream
was a dream
just a dream
we can dream..................
we can dream..................
string theory self determination
random filaments
fuck with reality
string theory self determination
you can never predict
apathy
no it just seeps in
go figure it out for yourself
it's all totally nonsense
so how many flies does it take to screw in a light bulb?
just two
but how do they get in there?
two negatives make a positive
could i do that with my equity?
no
i didn't think so
cos there's one rule for you and another one for me
go figure it out for yourself
it's all completely random
how many surealists does it take to pull the wool over your eyes
who to believe who to trust
if i knew that
christ i'd still know nothing
it's all up for grabs
it could go anyway
string theory self determination
there's a universe (in my head)
when i close my eyes
and i start to dream
there's a universe in my head
when i close my eyes
and i shout and scream
there's a universe in my head
the noise the noise
the void the void
don't go to sleep
don't go too deep
when i close my eyes
and i stop to think
there's a universe in my head
when i close my eyes
and i hold my breath
there's a universe in my head
to the beat of your heart
to the beat of your heart
and the blush on your skin
to the rise of your breasts
as you breathe out and in
to the curls on your hair
wrapped round my fingers
to your hand on my face
touch my lips with your lips
kiss me my love
lift me up
smother me
hold me tightly
don't ever let me go
hold me tightly
stay here with me
so i can feel
your skin on mine
etc
singing heartbreak hotel
singing heartbreak hotel in a polish bar
hey i'm singing hallelujah tae the moon n the stars
walking down these cobbled streets
in the sun and rain
now it's like a different place
to the one we see in day
i'm singing hallelujah in a polish bar
to the moon and the stars
since my baby left me
i've found a new song to sing
i'm singing heartbreak hotel
i'm singing sweet hallelujah
to the moon
well don't ye know it
we've all been here before
to drunk to remember
so let's all drink some more
and drown our sorrows
with laughter and song
try and remember the words
to heartbreak hotel
well since ma baby left me
in a polish bar
i'm singing hallelujah at the moon and the stars
these streets are full of memories
these streets are paved with pain and hope
these streets are full of people singing
to the moon
you could really change the world
well mibbes if you got up aff yer big fat arse
you could really change the world
but shouting at the telly
is no gonny change anything
a mind the days when you where a slim young thing
ye didnae need a whole seat on the bus tae yer self
did ye jist gie up
lie down and die
fill yer face wi chips and dancin on ice
and yer moaning cos yer skyplus disnea work
cos the hard drives full tae burst wi jeremy kyle
christ ye used to watch the channel four news
newsnight and question time
now you get all the latest information
from matthew wright and benefits street
well mibbes if you got up aff yer big fat arse
you could really change the world

we all live for the day
on a sea of candy cotton
fading in and out of view
where tomorrow's never mentioned
and we all live for the day
no one here with any feelings
this could all be just a dream
spell could break at any moment
so we all live for the day
no point in looking forward
no chance of turning back
the path of least resistance
is not an option anymore
on a sea of candy cotton
fading in and out of view
where tomorrow's never mentioned
and we all live for the day
is this the 21st century
Is this the 21st century?
Are we not civilised?
I think I must be dreaming
I can't believe my eyes
they're pulling kids out from under the rubble
they're shooting planes out of the sky
is this the 21st century?
Or are we living a lie?
They're throwing bombs at one another
does anyone know why?
we're pullimg kids from out under the rubble
we're shooting planes out of the sky
is this the 21st century?
Have we finally arrived?
At the peak of our capabilities
to take an eye for an eye
still pulling kids from out under the rubble
still shooting planes out of the sky
Is this the 21st century?
Is this the 21st century?
Is this the 21st century?
Is this the 21st century?
Are we just gonna stand by?
until it's far too late
you could wait for a lifetime
or just step into the sunshine
no one's gonna come for you
no one's gonna come for you
locked away in your own world
no one knows what you dream of
do you think that they'll come true
oh they seem so close
but they're far away
will you ever touch
will you ever touch
is it down to luck
is it down to fate
wouldn't that be great
wouldn't that be great
but nothing
comes
to those who wait
and nothings
ever done
until it's far too late
I tried to throw you a lifeline
and it wasn't the first time
you keep pushing me away
you keep pushing me away
Oh you could wait for a lifetime
or just step into the sunshine
cos I'm not going away
oh we seem so close
but we're far away
will we ever touch
will we ever touch
is it down to luck
is it down to fate
I just don't know mate
just don't know mate
but nothing
comes
to those who wait
and nothings
ever done
until it's far too late
you could wait for a lifetime
til it's far too late
you could wait for a lifetime
til it's far too late
