It's thirty years since '85 |
|
Robbie's dead but Pete's alive |
|
Or so the weblogs say |
|
But no-one's reading them |
|
Today my past caught up with me |
|
And you were standing over there |
|
You asked me what's the time |
|
You asked me what's the year and smiled the saddest smile I've ever seen |
|
I heard the same, can it be true |
|
The bad die old, the good pass through |
|
Or so the people say |
|
But look where they got us |
|
The cars lie all around |
|
The city's useless now |
|
We took on the world and lost |
|
But everyone's a loser now, but you |
|
I never thought you'd end up here |
|
With all that you were running from |
|
But when the chips are down |
|
I only wish I'd been around |
|
As if you needed me at all |
|
I couldn't stay, just had to go |
|
I waited years for you to show |
|
But that's all in the past |
|
It happened oh so fast |
|
The cars lie all around |
|
The city's useless now |
|
We took on the world and lost |
|
But everyone's a loser now, but you |
|
Thinking what I should have done |
|
There are things you shouldn't touch |
|
And so much you can't control |
|
I didn't find myself back there |
|
But I lost myself in you |
|
And it felt so, so, so |
|
It doesn't have to end this way |
|
'Cause you can always start again |
|
It's just a possible world |
|
The cars lie all around |
|
The city's useless now |
|
We took on the world and lost |
|
But everyone's a loser now, but you |
|
You saw it coming, didn't you? |
